Musicorum E-mail: musicorum@musicorum-mn.org Contact: Anne Dickau Musicorum seeks to perform music that otherwise is rarely if ever heard in south central Minnesota. Recent performances have included works by composers from Norway, France, England, Spain, Germany and Argentina, and performed in Spanish, German, English, French and Latin. Our concerts have included some Gregorian chant, and Renaissance-era works by Thomas Weelkes, Tomas Luis de Victoria, Adrian Batten, Giovanni Perluigi da Palestrina and Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck. We also have performed works by 20th-century composers such as Trond Kverno, Benjamin Britten, Peter Warlock and Minnesota composers Steve Heitzeg and Stephen Paulus. Musicorum's members bring a notable depth of musical expertise and experience to the preparation and presentation of the group's concerts. They include accomplished musicians who are in demand throughout the area for their teaching and performance expertise, and former members of some of the country’s best collegiate choral ensembles, including the University of Iowa Kantorei, Gustavus Choir, St. Olaf and Concordia College Choirs. Musicorum’s singers include area computer professionals, a technical writer, a Lutheran pastor, elementary and secondary teachers and professors at Minnesota State University, Mankato. Others who perform with Musicorum include accomplished and well-known instrumentalists in the area: Amy Kortuem (harpist), David Fienen (organist), Bonnie Jorgensen (pianist), and Rick Orpen (percussionist).
