Cappella Romana, a professional vocal ensemble, will perform "Music of Byzantium: The Fall of Constantinople" at 8 p.m. Monday, April 19, in the University Chapel.

The program of Latin and Greek works reflects the medieval twilight of the Roman Empire. Music to be performed includes majestic Byzantine chants, Latin ceremonial motets and two haunting laments commemorating the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. Cappella Music Director Alexander Lingas, currently a member of the Institute for Advanced Study, will conduct the concert.

The free concert is sponsored by the Program in Hellenic Studies and Department of Music.
