The University of St. Thomas Music Department welcomes the public to the free music performances listed below.

  • 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 3, in St. Mary’s Chapel at the St. Paul Seminary, 2260 Summit Ave.: "The Society for the Doctrinal Affectation of Baroque Music" -- whose very name pokes fun at the perceived snootiness of classical aficionados -- presents its seventh annual concert. The "Society" of two -- guitarist Dr. Christopher Kachian of the St. Thomas Music Department and organist and harpsichordist Dr. David Jenkins, liturgical music director at the St. Paul Seminary -- will perform Bach’s "Sonata for Gamba and Harpsichord" and "Trio Sonata," Schubert’s " Arpeggione Sonata" and Buxtehude’s "Harpsichord Sonata." They’ll be joined by St. Thomas art historian and curator Dr. Michelle Nordtorp-Madson, who will provide visual treats and scintillating commentary.  In other words, these folks have fun with music and art.
  • 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 4, in Brady Educational Center auditorium: Clarinetist Jessica Gordon presents a student recital.
  • 7:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 5, in Brady Educational Center auditorium: Pianist Jon Iverson presents a faculty recital.
