In the Syntagma Musicum academy, we will examine the ideas presented by Praetorius in his writings, and explore the largely overlooked music of his enormous output. We will also look at the music of his contemporaries, in particular of his friends Heinrich Schütz and Johann Hermann Schein.

The academy is open to singers, and to players of all the instruments called upon and discussed by Praetorius, but particularly cornetto, trombone, violin, recorder, viol, lute, and keyboard. The faculty will consist of Bruce Dickey, Catherine Motuz, Charles Daniels and Hank Knox. There will be time for theoretical discussions, practical exercises, ensemble work, and more.
