The Sackville Festival of Early Music kicked off its 20th anniversary season Wednesday with a presentation at the Brunton Auditorium by the Eybler Quartet, which also open the festival concert series on Friday.
The SFEM is an “exciting and engaging musical experience that will entice ‘all the feelings’,” says Christina Haldane, festival co-director, referencing the Eybler Quartet presentation on Wednesday which explored the role of emotions in musical performance and composition.
The festival will “provide an opportunity for you to learn more about this rich and diverse repertoire from the early European art music scene,” Haldane continued, “and a chance to enjoy some exciting musicians who bring this music to life on stage.”
