Join APERI ANIMAM for an unforgettable night of live music as the vocal early music ensemble performs with Baroque string ensemble, Camerata Milwaukee. Under the direction of Dr. Paul Thompson, this collaboration will explore the concept of Pneuma or “breath” in Lenten repertoire by performing works by composers like Buxtehude, Schein, Arvo Pärt, and Gibbons.

The professional vocal early music ensemble APERI ANIMAM, celebrating its seven-year anniversary in 2024, has quickly drawn the attention of early music enthusiasts and organizations across the United States.
