Harvard–Radcliffe Collegium Musicum

On March 7, 2020, Collegium held a closed concert to an empty Sanders Theater due to mounting fears from administration at Harvard University about COVID-19.[4] The group persisted with the performance, live-streaming the event to over a thousand viewers from around the world.[5] It was at this concert that they debuted the piece Wander composed by Harvard Undergraduate Ian Chan, and presented To the Hands by Caroline Shaw and Mozart's Requiem as completed by German composer Michael Ostrzyga.[6]

As in recent even-numbered years, Collegium collaborated with the Radcliffe Choral Society for a programmatic fall concert. This concert, Compassion, featured Monteverdi's Sestina Lagrima d'Amante and Bach's motet Der Geist Hilft. In the winter, Collegium presented the East Coast Premiere of How to Go On, an a cappella secular requiem by Dale Trumbore. On May 3, 2019, Collegium joined forces with all the Harvard Choruses to perform Vaughan Williams' indomitable Sea Symphony.

Collegium began the year with One Music: A moving mosaic celebrating the gift of song, which featured the world premiere of Harvard alumnus Robert Kyr's In the Name of Music. The winter was dedicated to preparing J. S. Bach's monumental B Minor Mass, which Collegium performed with a full period orchestra on March 31, 2017. The season concluded with Michael Tippett's A Child of Our Time in collaboration with the Harvard Glee Club, Radcliffe Choral Society, Boston Modern Orchestra Project, and Boston Children's Chorus.
