Collegium Musicum
Historia
nuestra HISTORIA
Collegium Musicum fue fundado en 1975 por Anna-María Kater. Anna-María inició un pequeño grupo para hacer música en casa y poco después comenzó a dar pequeños conciertos en las iglesias de Mijas y Marbella. Su gran amor por la música clásica y por hacer música con personas afines marcó su impronta en la Costa del Sol. Le estamos muy agradecidos por haber empezado el COLLEGIUM MUSICUM. Anna-María falleció el 17 de septiembre de 1993, un día antes de su 80 cumpleaños.
LA DENOMINACION ‘COLLEGIUM MUSICUM’
Grupos con el nombre de Collegium Musicum existieron desde el principio del siglo 17 a mediados del siglo 18 en Alemania y Suiza y otra vez en el siglo 20 en Alemania. Significa que personas musicales de una región se reúnen (principalmente amateurs pero con algunos profesionales) con el fin de disfrutar cantando y tocando juntos.
El Collegium Musicum se convirtió en los precursores de toda vida pública de conciertos en nuestras sociedades. El “Collegium Musicum” más famoso existió en Hamburgo bajo la dirección de Georg Philipp Telemann y en Leipzig bajo la dirección de Johann Sebastian Bach.
La palabra “Collegium” significa “juntarse” en latín y no tiene nada que ver con la palabra ‘colegio’ en este sentido aunque provienen de la misma raíz.
¡Contrariamente a lo que el nombre del grupo sugiere: no somos ni universidad ni escuela!
