What exactly is "early music?"

The term refers to European music written before about 1800, encompassing medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, and early Classical music, performed on period instruments the way the composer actually intended. Performers seek to discover and present music from times past and explore a repertory that is otherwise little known.

In other words: the original instruments. The very instruments Mozart, Bach, and Vivaldi wrote for.

Mozart never heard his music played on a modern piano. So why do we play it on one? At the Connecticut Early Music Festival, we don't. The sound is richer, more intimate, more authentic. Like hearing the music the way the composer actually imagined it.

In a world increasingly driven by technology, slip away for an evening and travel back in time to masterpieces performed in beautiful, intimate venues right here on the Connecticut shoreline, by some of the finest musicians in the country.

Six concerts. 6 venues. June 6–21.

Tickets from $40. $20 for under 40. Students always free. Visit website for discounts.
