Brian Butler previews four further winter outings for the Brighton Early Music Festival.
Fitting in with this year’s theme of Metamorphosis, this concert showed how Renaissance composers were all too willing to imitate their contemporaries or those of the recent past – often embellishing and developing the original. So in Transformers we were served up an intriguing mix of church and secular music from the late 15th to the late 16th century.
it was very interesting to see music which would only have perhaps had an academic following two decades ago enjoying such a warm welcomed and presentation to a full audience who appreciated the delicate charms of this very early music.
The 2019 programme for Brighton Early Music Festival is all about change and changing times. With its theme of Metamorphosis, the Festival will present twenty seven events across Brighton & Hove this autumn, exploring transformation in many intriguing ways.
