In Memory of Owen Jander: Scholarship, Acquisition, Inspiration

9/24/2016

7:30 PM

Houghton Chapel

This program includes the music of Stradella, Saint-Colombe, Leclair, Storace, van Noordt, and Beethoven, performed by members of Wellesley’s music faculty who specialize in historical performance. This concert celebrates the many contributions of the late Owen Jander, Catherine Mills Davis Professor of Music Emeritus, to the College and wider musical community though his research, scholarship, and inspiration. Prof. Jander’s many historical instrument acquisitions for Wellesley in the last decades of the 20th century, including the Fisk mean-tone organ in the Chapel, made the College a leader in
the historical performance movement. These instruments offer students profoundly enriching musical opportunities as well as make Wellesley a magnet for groundbreaking, historically informed concerts.
