    Convivium Musicum (www.convivium.org) is a Boston-based, 20-voice Renaissance vocal ensemble that has been performing for over 20 years. The group is known especially for the intelligence and interest of its programs and its expressive range and ensemble. Recent programming has ranged from Josquin and Mouton to Sweelinck and Le Jeune, from Peñalosa to Victoria, from the Song of Songs to Dido's lament, and from Europe to New Spain, including masterworks by Byrd, Guerrero, Praetorius, and many other, lesser-known composers. Convivium is proud to be a corporation run by its singers, who serve on the Board of Directors, manage the group's business affairs, design its programs and publicity materials, and seek out opportunities to perform Renaissance polyphony for new audiences, Convivium Musicum has recently released two CDs: Song of Songs: Music of Renaissance Spain and the New World and Dido's Lament.
