 Many years ago, Danny had to drive the Amherst truck all by himself. The trip was so long and so scary, that he vowed never to do it again. This year, thanks to Alastair, Danny doesn't have to repeat that lonely experience.

Welcome to the first of what will be a daily updates blog for the Amherst Early Music Festival 2011!  

Today Alastair and Danny are packing the office in Arlington and getting ready to drive the truck down to Connecticut College to set up. Valerie and Loren will meet them in New London and start unloading.  Dinner at Mr. G's.

More of the staff will be arriving in the next few days.  I'm planning to show up on Friday. 

Keep checking back as we will be posting daily schedules, updates, photos and more on the blog for the next three weeks.

Singing and Playing from Rennaisance notation has been a central part of Amherst Early Music for many years.  Every summer festival we offer numerous classes to give musicians of all levels the tools and pleasure of this experience.  This year at BEMF, Amherst Early Music presents an hour of sight-singing from facsimiles of Renaissance manuscripts and prints, directed by the incomparable Valerie Horst.
