Here is a scholarly event staged in 18th-century style. Led by Jerry Fuller, Chicago’s Ars Antigua is dedicated to presenting music of the Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical eras. For this program, the Ars Antigua ensemble joins Robert J. Richards, Morris Fishbein Professor of the History of Science and Medicine at the University of Chicago, to reveal connections among three towering figures of the late 18th and early 19th century—Goethe, Mozart, and Schubert—and their shared interest in and concepts of the body and science. Combining music and literature, Ars Antigua will perform the works under discussion, while Richards offers short lectures contextualizing the music, literature, and science.
