The Madison Early Music Festival is less than 3 weeks away. It takes place from 8-15 July. The theme is “Early Music from the Iberian Peninsula”.
oin us as we voyage to the world of Columbus, Cervantes, the Inquisition and the Conquistadors. Classes, lectures and concerts will focus on musical traditions that originated in the Christian, Jewish and Muslim cultures from all over the Iberian Peninsula. Special emphasis will be given to works written for the cathedrals of Madrid and Barcelona, dances and songs from Andalusia, and of the Sephardim. Here is a list of performances for the week.
Also note that the Historical Harp Society’s annual Conference and Workshop will take place in collaboration with the festival. So, if all the music of the Iberian Peninsula just isn’t enough, you can also indulge in the history and sound of the Baltic zither.
