The Academy of Early Music presents Cappella Pratensis

Cappella Pratensis performs “For Eternal Glory and Remembrance”  Missa de Sancto Donatiano by Jacob Obrecht

The Dutch-based vocal ensemble Cappella Pratensis – literally ‘Cappella des prés’ – champions the music of Josquin des Prez and the polyphonists of the 15th and 16th centuries. The group combines historically informed performance practice with inventive programmes and original interpretations based on scholarly research and artistic insight. As in Josquin’s time, the members of Cappella Pratensis perform from a central music stand, singing from the original mensural notation scored in a large choirbook.

The Leslie Science & Nature Center is proud to announce a Veterans Day event for our community from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 11 on our grounds at 1831 Traver Rd, Ann Arbor MI.   We appreciate the dedication and sacrifices of our nation’s veterans, and we wish to provide a celebratory event in their honor. This event is free of charge, and we welcome all members of the community, young and old, to join us as we celebrate our nation and the men and women who have chosen to serve.

The November 11 event will kick off with a brief program including music, special guests, an honor guard, and a ribbon cutting of our new Bald Eagle’s enclosure, dedicated to our nation’s veterans. Following the ribbon cutting, we invite all attendees to explore the Leslie Science & Nature Center grounds, including our Critter House, woods, lawns, and Raptor enclosures. Sit to partake of refreshments, chat with neighbors and friends to learn more about their experiences or connections to veterans and currently deployed service members, and take photos with our Bald Eagle. We will also be supporting deployed personnel by offering a letter-writing station with the opportunity for children to draw pictures to send overseas. We will be collecting items for care packages from attendees, who are welcomed to bring donations including toiletries, non-perishable and non-melting treats like candy and beef jerky, magazines and paperback books, writing paper and envelopes.
