The 20th annual Madison Early Music Festival Workshop and Concert Series, The Grand Tour: A 20th Anniversary Celebration of the Madison Early Music Festival will take place from July 6-13, 2019. Taking inspiration from Coryat’s Crudities (1611), an account of a five-month journey across Europe, with an unusual personal narrative, this ultimate gap year provides the inspiration for our 2019 MEMF Grand Tour, presenting music from England, France, and Italy.
We look forward to seeing you this July!
