OVERVIEW
 York Early Music Festival
Friday 9 - Saturday 17 July 2010
Britain's largest festival of early music takes Musical Marriages as its inspiration in 2010 from music to celebrate grand dynastic marriages to intimate pieces written for composers’ spouses, as well as marriages of different musical styles and genres from the middle ages to the high baroque.
Guest ensembles will include Fretwork, Ensemble Lucidarium, London Baroque, Musica Fiata, La Capella Ducale, The Bach Players, Theatre of the Ayre and The Sixteen directed by Harry Christophers.
Soloists include lutenist Hopkinson Smith, soprano Barbara Schlick, tenor James Gilchrist and BBC New Generation harpsichordist Mahan Esfahani.
Highlights include the Yorkshire Baroque Soloists directed by Peter Seymour presenting Monteverdi’s Mass, Motets and Vespers of 1610, I Fagiolini presenting an evening of commedia dell’arte drawing together a marriage of music and comedy and Schumann’s songs of love and marriage.
Full programme details will be available in the spring, and tickets on sale from 29th March 2010.
