The Parthenon happily announces the rescheduling of September’s cancelled Symposium: a concert/lecture by the Nashville Early Music Project on Thursday, December 8.

This lecture/concert, a somewhat unusual format for the Parthenon’s Symposia, will include reproductions of ancient instruments researched and built by the NEMP’s director, Duff Harris, and will feature performances of surviving ancient music from the Golden Age to the early Christian Era. The presentation will also discuss issues and difficulties in reconstructing and resurrecting the music of ancient cultures.

The Nashville Early Music Project, now in its second season, performs music of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance in authentic style on reproduction period instruments. The NEMP is dedicated to promoting interest in early music with innovative programming and educational outreach, as well as fostering a collegial community of early music performers and enthusiasts throughout the Nashville and Middle Tennessee area.

The presentation will take place at the Parthenon at 7:00pm, with a reception following. Admission is free, but reservations are required (862-8431). The Parthenon Symposia are sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America and the Conservancy for the Parthenon and Centennial Park.
