SPOTLIGHT: Historically informed performances - Kieran Beville
Reporter: );

LOCAL musicians have created a new organisation to support historically informed performance in Limerick and its environs. March 21 is the confluence of a number of notable events – it is the spring equinox, and for classical music fans it is JS Bach’s birthday! Even more specifically for lovers of classical music, the 21st of March is annually feted around Europe and the world as Early Music Day.
A few local music professionals have taken it upon themselves to bring new life to early music in the Treaty City through the first Limerick Early Music Festival (LEMF) and their early music organisation H.I.P.S.T.E.R., an acronym for Historically Informed Performance Series, Teaching, Education and Research.
