The Killeen Chair of Theology and Philosophy Sacred Music Series will feature "'Musica

del Cielo': Sacred Music of Spain and the New World" performed by the St. Norbert

College Music Department on Tuesday, Oct. 11 at 6:30 p.m. in Old St. Joseph's Church

on the St. Norbert College campus as part of Heritage Week. The event is free and open

to the public.

In "Msica del Cielo," members of the St. Norbert College Music Department explore the

rich history of music that springs from the sacred traditions of Spain and the New World.

Student and faculty performers will present an exciting tapestry of musical selections --

ranging from the meditative sounds of Medieval chant to the infectious rhythms and

appealing harmonies of Hispanic music today. Through solo voices, Spanish guitar, brass

instruments, and choral musicians, they hope to share the powerful and prayerful variety

of sacred Hispanic and Latino music throughout history, and to celebrate the joyful spirit

of the Spanish church.

Heritage Week celebrates the founding of St. Norbert College on Oct. 10, 1898. Heritage

Week is designed to educate people on the history of the College and the Norbertine

Order.

The Killeen Chair of Theology and Philosophy was established in 1984 to bring figures in

the fields of theology and philosophy to the St. Norbert College campus. The Killeen

Chair draws attention to the importance of theology and philosophy in a Catholic liberal

arts education and highlights the commitment of St. Norbert College to provide an

education that is personally, intellectually and spiritually challenging. The Killeen Chair is

an appropriate way of honoring Abbot Killeen's many contributions to St. Norbert

College, the Norbertine Order and the wider community.
