About the 2016 Salish Sea Early Music Festival
The sixth annual 2016 Salish Sea Early Music Festival presents six diverse programs of early chamber music on period instruments in Seattle with leading early music specialists from Europe, the Pacific Northwest and around the United States at Christ Episcopal Church from January through June.
Performers in the series include harpsichordist Hans-Jürgen Schnoor, who is organist at St. Mary's church in Lübeck, Germany to which Bach walked for days to hear Dietrich Buxtehude, violinist Ingrid Matthews who founded and directed the Seattle Baroque Orchestra, harpsichordist Bernward Lohr and violinist Anne Röhrig who teach at German music conservatories in Hannover and Nuremburg, guitarist Oleg Timofeyev who is one of the world's leading exponents of the Russian 7-string guitar of Beethoven's time, and flutist and artistic director Jeffrey Cohan.
Each program is repeated in nine cities around the Salish Sea from Tacoma to Vancouver, BC in a total of 54 performances. [See full list of performances here.]
