Early Music Program
The Early Music Program follows the latest international rhetoric in teaching historically informed Baroque, classical and colonial music. Only period instruments or their replicas are used, tuned to 415 and 430 respectively in baroque and classical/colonial styles. Classes are offered in historic violin, viola and cello, viola da gamba, traverso, as well as historic oboe, clarinet, bassoon, historic trumpet and horn, singing and harpsichord.
FEMUSC enthusiastically accepts the participation of instrumentalists of theorbo, lute, violoncello da spalla, viola d’amore, cornetto, sacabuchas and other instruments of ancient music, even if there are no specific teachers for these instruments. Instrumentalists who come to FEMUSC playing these instruments will be absorbed by the orchestral ensembles, operas and chamber music in the festival’s program, obtaining musical experience through rehearsals, presentations and direct contact with teachers and participants of the Early Music Program.
