WILMINGTON — Wilmington College’s early music performance ensemble, Collegium Musicum, will present its annual winter noon hour benefit concert at noon Thursday, Dec. 1 in Harcum Art Gallery, Boyd Cultural Arts Center.

The program, titled “If Musick Be the Food of Love,” features 16th-century European dances, an early American hymn and Christmas music from England, Spain, Germany and Scandinavia. Elizabeth Haskins, assistant professor of music, conducts the group.

The event’s title comes from William Shakespeare’s holiday comedy Twelfth Night.

The concert, which is free of charge, benefits the Clinton County Homeless Shelter and audience members are encouraged to bring donations of nonperishable food items, cleaning products, personal care items and paper products. A light lunch is available.
