SUMMARY:Guild for Early Music Annual Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Step Into the Past at Princeton Public Library’s Free Early Music Showcase \nPRINCETON\, N.J. — What would it sound like to step inside a medieval court\, a Renaissance salon or a Baroque concert hall? Visitors to the Princeton Public Library can find out Oct. 18 when the Guild for Early Music presents its annual free showcase\, “Sounds Literary.” \nFrom 12:30 to 4:30 p.m.\, seven Guild member ensembles will perform free\, 30-minute mini-concerts in the library’s Community Room. Audiences can drop in for one performance or stay for the entire afternoon as musicians bring the sounds of the Medieval\, Renaissance\, Baroque and Early American eras to life. \nThis year’s showcase marks the Guild’s new partnership with Princeton Public Library and features a special connection between music and literature. \nHopewell author Colby Cedar Smith\, whose young adult novel “The Siren and the Star” explores the life and music of Venetian composer Barbara Strozzi through poetry\, will read an excerpt from her work during the 1:30-2:00 performance. The a cappella ensemble Mostly Motets will complement the reading with music by Strozzi\, a prolific female composer whose work has gained increased recognition in recent years. \nThe afternoon’s performers also include Baroque’n Promises\, Highland Park Recorder Society\, La Fiocco\, Mostly Motets\, New Jersey Early Music\, The Practitioners of Musick and Riverview Early Music. \nThe showcase will conclude with one of the Guild’s most popular features: an instrumental “Petting Zoo” at 4 p.m. Music lovers of all ages will have the opportunity to see\, touch and\, in some cases\, try unusual historical instruments\, including the lute\, viola da gamba\, rebec\, gemshorn and hurdy-gurdy. \nThe event is not specifically designed for children\, but families are welcome to attend for as little or as much of the afternoon as they wish. \nPrinceton Public Library is located at 65 Witherspoon St. in downtown Princeton. Parking is available in the municipal garage on Spring Street and on many neighboring streets. \nThe Guild for Early Music’s showcase offers audiences a chance to discover the wide-ranging sounds of early music and experience history not just as something to read about\, but as something to hear. \n
