Featured Concert

Angelus: Sacred Early Music Concert

About the Series
The Angelus Concert Series of Sacred Early Music was established in 2007 with a gift from Cynthia Haney, honoring the memory of her late husband Dr. Michael Haney of the USD Department of Psychological Sciences and his devotion to music. Offered in the exquisite setting and splendid acoustics of USD's Founders Chapel, the series brings performances of sacred music from the Middle Ages through the Early Classical Era, featuring period instruments and historical performance practices.

Tax-deductible donations to the "Angelus Sacred Early Music Fund" are welcome and encouraged.
