Foreword
NAPOLI
MUSIC'S FORGOTTEN
CAPITAL
Xavier Vandamme
director-manager
Naples, lying in the shadow of Vesuvius and with enchanting
Capri close by, was already a popular hub of pleasure
and entertainment in ancient Greece. The city boasts an
extremely rich and largely untapped musical heritage.
Today we grossly underestimate the importance of Naples.
We see a city which, following Italian unification,
when it suddenly lost its status as capital, fell victim to an
almost fatal anarchy. Who could still imagine that for centuries
the world’s eyes were fixed on Naples? That this
was a centre of artistic renewal which spread throughout
Europe? That its four conservatoires supplied the entire
continent with instrumentalists, composers, castrati and
other singers?
Naples was a city with over five hundred churches, with
countless religious organizations and, for a brief period in
the 18th century, four opera houses functioning simultaneously.
Music could be heard everywhere.
This festival juxtaposes Naples’ present and past. We see
the city where Mozart discovered opera buffa, but also
today’s noisy and strange metropolis. We examine the
unique social coherence which has for centuries ensured
that high and low culture have gone hand in hand. And
we look towards the future, because it turns out that Naples
is a laboratory with ideas for tomorrow.

Napoli – Music's forgotten capital 7
NAPLES
A PARADISE
INHABITED BY DEVILS?
The most delicious cuisine in Italy, the most beautiful bay
in Europe, a heavenly spot. But also: traffic chaos, refuse
wars and organized crime. Naples is sometimes portrayed
in harsh terms. Neapolitans themselves describe their city
as a place of a thousand contradictions, and as a beautiful
woman with dirty feet. The very least that can be said of
Naples is that life is lived passionately there, in bright colours
and with intense emotions.
Centuries of oppression by Greeks, Romans, the French
House of Anjou and Spanish Aragón turned Naples into a
city of survivors and cosmopolitans. Naples was also one
of the largest cities in Europe. In the 19th century Stendhal
wrote that Europe had only two genuine capital cities:
Paris and Naples.
During this festival Naples will shine in all its colours, but the
city’s challenges will also be addressed. How do you build
a future on paving stones more than twenty-five centuries
old? How can Neapolitans reconcile pagan devotion with a
contrary desire for innovation? How do you learn to dance
in the shadow of a volcano? In Naples you are confronted
with the paradox of life.

Inwijdingsfestival voor het nieuwe barokorgel in de Grote Zaal
NAPLES – METROPOLIS OF MUSIC
EUROPE’S MUSICAL
TREASURE CHEST
1266, when Naples came under Angevin rule, saw the start
of a cultural boom. Between the 15th and 18th centuries
the city grew to become one of Europe’s most important
centres of music. Naples proved to have a remarkably
favourable climate for artistic innovation. The city was way
ahead of its time.
The musical landscape was extraordinarily diverse thanks
to the presence of the royal or viceroyal court, the practice
of music in churches, fraternities and charitable institutions,
financial support from well-to-do citizens and the popularity
of song and dance in public life. Neapolitan – not a dialect
but a real language – fed not only the traditional canzoni but
also the commedia dell’arte and opera buffa, which made
Naples the centre of musical drama.
Brilliant polyphonists such as Agricola and De Macque,
Baroque greats including Scarlatti and Provencale, and
pre-classical masters like Pergolesi and Jommelli: Naples
challenges and inspires, all the way to O sole mio and
Funiculi funicula.

KOP MARCO MENCOBONI
SUBKOP ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
Warm-hearted, flamboyant and generous in all that he
does: when Marco Mencoboni Inleiding appears, you’re in for a treat.
As artist in residence this harpsichordist and specialist
in the Italian Renaissance and Baroque is responsible for
three productions and a singing workshop based on the
festival’s theme.
He takes his place at the harpsichord in person to pay
homage to keyboard virtuoso Giovanni Maria Trabaci. In a
large-scale evening concert based around Diego Ortiz, the
Spanish composer in the service of the viceroy of Naples,
Mencoboni, together with his ensemble Cantar Lontano,
does what he’s best at: experimenting with spatial
effects. Finally, he and his ensemble present Durante’s
Requiem: ‘An intense production with cast-iron music,
in which our soprano Valentina Mastrangelo – rising star
of bel canto – can shine to her heart’s content,’ as the
maestro describes it.

SUBKOP ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
With his energetic approach, keen eye for untapped 18thcentury
repertoire, and Inleiding unerring feel for chiaroscuro in
Baroque music, Giulio Prandi is an ideal artist in residence
for this festival edition.
Prandi’s record of achievements is impressive. He has
made his mark as singer, composer and conductor, but
is also well known as a passionate musicologist and a
scientist with a maths degree. With his Coro e Orchestra
Ghislieri he will grace the posters three times, each time
with sacred repertoire by Naples’ very finest. Drawing on
the oeuvre of Durante, Perez, Jommelli and Pergolesi,
Prandi will explore all regions of the High Baroque
spectrum, between counterpoint with a wow factor and
theatricality, new style.

FEBI ARMONICI
NAPLES ON STAGE
Natural disasters, wars and social catastrophes: Naples’
turbulent history is bursting with drama. Was this why
theatrical music genres were so popular...? What is
certain is that by the end of the 17th century Naples
could compete with Venice in terms of attracting fans of
musical drama, in part thanks to Alessandro Scarlatti –
the most important opera composer of his generation. In
the 18th century Naples became the birthplace of opera
buffa. The influence of the commedia dell’arte is great,
with the common rogue Pulcinella playing a central role
as the personification of the city of Naples.
Following the example of the Febi armonici – opera
troupes who painted Baroque Naples red – various
ensembles will be heading for the boards during this
festival edition. Artist in residence Marco Mencoboni’s
‘Baroque in surround sound’, a film concert with live
organ improvisation, Il Ciarlatano and La Serva Padrona
van Pergolesi and Scarlatti’s amazing oratorio Agar et
Ismaele: auditorium lights out, spotlights on!

SALVATORE, GRECO
In Marco Mencoboni, Jean-Marc Aymes and Enrico Baiano
Neapolitan keyboard repertoire has some dyed-in-thewool
ambassadors. Are you also curious about the talent
of tomorrow? The series of keyboard concerts showcases
several of the most promising young harpsichordists.
Cristiano Gaudio, who made an impression at the harpsichord
competitions of Bruges and Milan, tackles Durante.
Giovanni Paganelli is conducting research into Domenico
Scarlatti’s involvement with partimento and as well as his
concert will also give a lecture in the series What's new?.
Andrea Buccarella, who also appears at this festival with
his Abchordis Ensemble, will play keyboard music by Greco.
Miguel Jalôto from Portugal, who studied in The Hague,
gives a recital of works by Giovanni Salvatore. The very
young Louise Acabo from France is particularly impressive:
last year, at the tender age of nineteen, she won first
prize at the prestigious Corneille Competition in Rouen.

THOMAS HÖFT
CO-CURATOR
After Björn Schmelzer’s successful stint at last year’s festival,
writer, director and dramaturge Thomas Höft takes up
the gauntlet as co-curator this year. This colourful figure
from the theatre and opera world in Germany and Austria is
seen as a cheerful and socially engaged visionary.
He knows the world of early music like the back of his hand.
Höft curates the styriarte festival, founded in 1985 to forge
closer ties between Nicolaus Harnoncourt and his hometown
of Graz. Höft has also run an early music platform in
Cologne and was responsible for the latest edition of the
music festival Potsdam Sanssouci. In Storie napoletane – a
series of morning discussions and lectures – Höft lays bare
the links between artistic, political and social subjects. In
addition he is in charge of staging Agar et Ismaele, a biblical
oratorio by Scarlatti thought to refer to the conflict between
the Judaeo-Christian and Islamitic traditions. The icing on
the cake is the comic opera intermezzo Il Ciarlatano.

KOP STORIE NAPOLETANE
SUBKOP STORIES ABOUT NAPLES
Naples is a city with many layers: from antiquity to the
present, from rich to poor, Inleiding from religion to the Camorra.
Co-curator Thomas Höft has invited a series of fascinating
guests to take part in a collective search – including
lectures and discussions – for the Naples of the past
and the present.
Special attention will be paid to the solidarity among the
population. Naples is the only European metropolis free
of gentrification: all layers of the population live and coexist
side by side. Also under the microscope will be the
avant-garde, the growth in tourism, the scepticism concerning
political and judicial integrity, the femminielli
as a third gender and the contemporary image of
Naples as created by authors such as Elena Ferrante and
Roberto Saviano.
Pianist Olga Pashchenko will add lustre to the Storie Napoletane.
Whether food for thought or food for the soul:
these stories exist to be told – and passed on.

PERGOLESI'S IL CIARLATANO
MINI-OPERA WITH
ADRIAN SCHVARZSTEIN
The fusion of high and low culture is one of the most
surprising characteristics of Neapolitan art production: the
result – and the proof – of intensive contact between all
strata of the population. Where popular music and art with
a capital ‘A’ meet, vulgarity and nobility become interwoven:
from the popular tarantella by Rossini to opera buffa as the
fruit of commedia dell’arte and dramma per musica.
Neapolitan culture’s popular bias was the reason for choosing
Pergolesi’s Il Ciarlatano, which is being staged by the makers
of Musica Fugit in 2017, with Adrian Schvarzstein as stage
director. That stage consists of a Piaggio Ape – an Italian
three-wheeled scooter converted into a fold-out theatre.
This spicy mix of high culture and cheeky nonsense will be
performed five times in the Paardenkathedraal Theatre,
plus another five times, unannounced, as a pop-up opera, at
surprising locations outside the city centre.

EARLY MUSIC YOUNGSTERS
THE FUTURE ON THE STAGE
During the Fringe, the International Van Wassenaer Competition
and many festival concerts, you have over the
years had the chance to discover a huge quantity of upand-coming
early music talent. In 2019 we are giving new
ensembles an extra boost, with even more concerts by
musicians who, with a fresh approach and full of ambition,
are making a name for themselves.
As always the festival programme features the names of
many Dutch musicians or graduates of Dutch conservatoires.
The story of international success for Vox Luminis,
founded in The Hague, is well known, but there are also
young musicians such as Lucie Horsch and Eva Saladin,
and ensembles including Odyssee and Stile Galante, waiting
to take over the baton.
Where Dutch ensemble culture is headed will also become
the subject of a debate. Is the Netherlands still the model
country it was in the 1980s and 90s, or has something
changed? What sort of course do our ensembles steer in
international waters? What role do governments play in
that context? A debate for anyone who cares about music
in, and from, the Netherlands.

INTERNATIONAL VAN
WASSENAER COMPETITION
EARLY EDITION
The Utrecht Early Music Festival has now hosted the
biennial International Van Wassenaer Competition three
times: a trial of strength in which young ensembles, playing
historical instruments in exciting Baroque programmes,
compete for the highest honour.
2019 marks the start of a new chapter. From now on the
competition will take place annually, and its focus will
alternate between Early, Baroque and Late repertoire. This
means that the competition is growing considerably and will
now assume its rightful place among the most relevant and
original European competitions. During this festival edition,
for the first time, you can expect ensembles specialized in
music of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

SUMMER SCHOOL & WHAT'S NEW?
ALTERNATIVE LISTENING
The intriguing microcosm that calls itself Naples harbours
a treasure trove of stories. And we tell these stories too.
From ancient Greek hymns to Baroque celebrations on the
water: the amply filled morning programme of the Summer
School gives you a better feel for the festival theme. We are
proud that scholar in residence Dr Dinko Fabris will deliver
three morning lectures sketching a picture of Naples’ busy
musical life in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Later in the day there is What’s New?, a fresh format for
inquisitive music lovers. In these short presentations (with
free admission) enthusiastic performers and researchers
share their most recent findings. Discoveries, surprises, insight,
nuance and perspective: after an exciting half hour
you’ll be totally up to speed again.

STIMU-SYMPOSIUM
THE HISTORICAL VIOLIN
This edition of the STIMU symposium – the annual
gathering of academics, performers and builders – focuses
on the revival of the historical Baroque violin. Exactly
thirty years after the Stichting voor Muziekhistorische
Uitvoeringspraktijk (STIMU) organized their first, pioneering
international violin conference, we are organizing an update
which looks towards the future.
Symposium curator Dr Mimi Mitchell, who recently received
her doctorate, based on this subject, from the University of
Amsterdam. For three days she will be keeping her finger
on the pulse of contemporary violin practice based on
historical principles. In combination with the symposium
there will be various morning concerts offering a place of
honour to the youngest generation, including Eva Saladin
from the Netherlands.

With the series of eleven o’clock concerts, every festival day
begins under a lucky star, Inleiding offering a mix of young talent –
such as Eva Saladin and Josef Žák – and celebrities like Erik
Bosgraaf, Christina Pluhar and Nuria Rial.
Anyone wanting to start the day calmly can begin with a
concert on a small scale, such as those involving the harpsichordist
Enrico Baiano and 5 5 cellist 5 Catherine Jones, or the
Platte tekst
5
sonatas for recorder and strings performed by La Cicala. Or
would you prefer to get into top gear straightaway? In that
case there are expressive madrigals of d’India, Trabaci and

FESTIVAL
WITH A HEART
Music is often born of a desire to stir people, to make them
think and to let them dream. Are we today still capable of
operating this powerful emotion machine? To connect people
and to enhance the world by means of music? The unforgettable
production Musica Fugit (2017) – a performance
in which concertgoers were shepherded through the
city like refugees – was in that respect a milestone in the
history of the festival.
More than ever we want to show our social engagement
and to employ music as space, and as a language, for discussion.
In this way co-curator Thomas Höft, with his Storie
Napoletane in the Janskerk – our alternative festival centre
– ensures the sociocultural embedding of the festival theme.
With the pop-up opera Il Ciarlatano we visit different
neighbourhoods of Utrecht to acquaint a new audience
with early music. We are proud of our new social partner,
De Tussenvoorziening. Their clients join in with our teams of
volunteers and we encourage our audience to sign up as a
Buddy ('Maatje'). Finally, with seventy free Fringe concerts
and the collection of voluntary donations for The Encore
('De Toegift'), we are also making great musical experiences
available to people with limited income.

For centuries, Naples set the tone in the field of musical
innovation. New Neapolitan developments were eagerly
adopted throughout Europe. Naples became synonymous
with quality, prestige and cutting-edge artistic invention.
This Huelgas triptych of concerts will illustrate why. We
start with the sumptuous ‘musica irregularis’ (1400-1500)
by Tinctoris, Oriola and Cornago, who were in service at
the Aragonese court. In the second part (1500-1600) it is
the turn of Nenna, Rodio, Ferretti and the forgotten kapellmeisters
Felis and Raval. The third concert (1580-1640)
features groundbreaking Manneristic repertoire which
flouts the boundaries of tonality and shamelessly flirts with
decadence.

During the opening evening the musical panorama of
Naples unfolds before our eyes. In TivoliVredenburg we
stroll from hall to hall and from one feast to the next.
Maria Marone sings Neapolitan songs. Weser-Renaissance
Bremen performs 16th-century madrigals. Erik Bosgraaf
plays Alessandro Scarlatti. And of course Pulcinella, the
likeable scoundrel from the Neapolitan commedia dell’arte,
puts in an appearance.
The evening’s crowning glory is provided by Antonio Florio,
the man who has been unearthing Neapolitan repertoire
for the past thirty years. With his Cappella Neapolitana he
pays homage to San Gennaro, the popular saint who is
said to protect the city from Vesuvius’ eruptions.
NB: Do you have trouble with stairs? A number of concertgoers can use the lift.

It is the pearl of the Neapolitan opera, the largest operatic
success of the eighteenth century and a beautiful work
that began its existence as a simple interlude. La serva
padrona by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi is bursting with
rhythm, humour, venom and subtlety.
The immense success was unexpected: in fact, Pergolesi's
mini opera is completely unpretentious. Yet this funny and
elegant piece opened the door to the era of the comic
opera buffa, which was, half a century later, brought to its
culmination by Mozart with his Le Nozze di Figaro.

Destitute and ravaged by tuberculosis, he died at the age
of 26: the tragic fate of Giovanni Battista Pergolesi. Today
Pergolesi ranks among Naples’ leading musical export products.
The comic intermezzo La serva padrona serves as his
calling card, but the young genius had many more strings
to his bow. His Mass in D major is a wonderful illustration of
the compositional practice which had developed in Naples:
Kyrie and Gloria are composed in the form of a theatrical
vocal interplay between soloists, ensembles and choir.
In contrast to his contemporary and fellow Neapolitan
Pergolesi, Niccolò Jommelli chose to pursue an international
career. His setting of the psalm Dixit Dominus is an
excellent example of the stile nuovo, its highlights being a
virtuosic soprano quartet and an impressive vocal sextet.
Artist in residence Giulio Prandi will lead a large cast of
singers and instrumentalists.

In this evening concert Stephan MacLeod and his ensemble
of soloists Gli Angeli Genève join hands to perform the
most beautiful Stabat Mater settings from 400 years of
musical history.
This journey from despair to salvation includes four
milestones, the first being Renaissance polyphonist
Palestrina. His eight-part Stabat Mater, composed for the
Papal Chapel, is seen as an early highlight of the genre.
With Domenico Scarlatti and Giovanni Battista Pergolesi
the programme takes us via High Baroque and Preclassical,
finally arriving in a recent past - 1985, the year
in which, at the request of the Alban Berg Foundation,
Arvo Pärt composed this Marian work in his characteristic

Aragón and Spain play a major role in the history of
Naples. In 1442 Alfonso V ‘The Magnanimous’ won the
kingdom from the House of Anjou, thereby briefly bringing
about reunification with Sicily. His son Ferrante ruled
for almost forty years and transformed Naples into a
centre of Renaissance art. Following a short-lived French
intermezzo, Naples remained in the hands of the Spanish
crown for more than two centuries.
For Jordi Savall the music of this period – chansons,
villancicos and villanescas – is familiar territory. In the 1970s
this cancionero repertoire was the first music he and his
then recently founded Hespèrion unearthed. And now he
returns to it, with anonymous songs from the Cancionero
de Montecassino and compositions by Willaert, Gombert,

Just as jazz musicians use lead sheets containing

learned to compose and improvise with the aid of
partimenti: bass lines, sometimes with an indication
of the harmony. Organist Nicoleta Paraschivescu
teaches at the City of Basel Music Academy
and demonstrates in this lecture/performance
how the practice of partimento worked in Naples.

Around 1700 in Naples anyone who aspired to
make a career as a violinist had Gian Carlo Cailò
to reckon with: this virtuoso worked for the royal
chapel and taught at four conservatoires. Only one
of his sonatas was preserved, which inspired the
young Dutch star violinist Eva Saladin, together
with Daniel Rosin on cello and Johannes Keller on
harpsichord, to build a programme around Cailò
and his brilliant pupils Mascitti, Barbella and Piani.

The Dutch ensemble Stile Galante and the Swedish superstar
Ann Hallenberg view the Festival theme from a
unique perspective: that of ‘primo uomo’ Farinelli. Born
in Naples as Carlo Broschi, Farinelli developed an international
career which, among other things, brought him
to the attention of Philip V of Spain. Every evening for ten
years he would sing the same songs to alleviate the king’s
persistent depression.
From the idiosyncratic repertoire of the Neapolitan School,
Stefano Aresi and Ann Hallenberg have compiled a concert
programme such as it might have been heard around 1700
in the royal chambers. Thanks to their many years of research
and joint experimentation with vocal techniques, not
only of the instrumental line-up but also the typical singing
and ornamentation style of the legendary castrato can
now be approached with new insights.

over twenty singers and a dozen instrumentalists, which
immerses the audience in a soothing Renaissance bath.
Supported by the TivoliVredenburg organ, they bring
an exciting performance of the Vespers of Diego Ortiz,
who was in charge of the court chapel at the end of
the 16th century. These are supplemented with psalms
by Neapolitan composers including Scipione Dentice
and Rocco Rodio, brimming with contrapuntal mastery.
The instrumental ranks of Cantar Lontano include

This marital drama from the Bible is seen as the mythic
root of the conflict between the Jewish and Arab worlds.
Ishmael is the oldest son of patriarch Abraham and his slave
Hagar. When Abraham’s wife Sarah becomes pregnant
despite her advanced age, she forces her husband to
banish Hagar and Ishmael to the wilderness. But an angel
saves them from death. For Muslims Ishmael is a patriarch.
With great feeling for psychology Alessandro Scarlatti set
this story to music in 1683. Scarlatti’s first Italian oratorio
became a masterpiece. In this production, staged by cocurator
Thomas Höft, Baroque ensemble Neue Hofkapelle
Graz is flanked by the Nouruz Ensemble, which with its
Arabian music represents the perspective of Muslims.

Where is Dutch ensemble culture heading? Is
the Netherlands still the model country it was in
the 1980s and 90s, or has something changed?
What sort of course do our ensembles steer
in international waters? What role do governments
play in that context? For anyone who cares
about early, Classical and new music in, and from,
the Netherlands.

‘It was as if there, in the Janskerk, you relived a time you
had never before lived, as if time itself was abolished;
those voices lifted you up.’ Thus wrote Wim Boevink several
months ago in Trouw, describing his purifying experience
with Graindelavoix. The group performed a marathon
concert during the Le Guess Who? festival, at the invitation
of the Utrecht Early Music Festival. Today Schmelzer’s
fearless singers take up the gauntlet once again.
Gesualdo’s Tenebrae Responsoria date from 1611 and
were sung during the night-time divine office in the three
days before Easter. Björn Schmelzer, last year’s co-curator
of the Early Music Festival, lets the Neapolitan’s
sometimes shocking sound experiments, only rediscovered
in 1950, creak and grind, in a three-section concert

Sixteen years ago the CD Metamorfosi by Le Poème
Harmonique, with improvisations on Italian faux-bourdons,
was a smash hit in the world of early music. Now there finally
will be a sequel to this success. Le Poème Harmonique
delved in the repertoire of the Neapolitan laude: sacred,
non-liturgical vernacular songs which became very popular
from the Middle Ages onwards.
These songs were loved throughout Italy, often in the form
of contrafacts, in which the existing music is assigned
a different text. This concert follows the trail of the lauda
tradition, from the Casa dell’Annuziata – one of the
most important music institutions in Naples – to the very
heart of Rome.

Christina Pluhar, leading lady of early music, grew up
surrounded by Neapolitan sounds. In this Festival edition
she shares musical memories from her childhood in not
one, but two concerts. In tomorrow’s matinee Pluhar and
L’Arpeggiata treat us to a remake of La Tarantella, one of
the most successful early music recordings ever made.
This evening’s programme, entitled La Pazza, ranges
from lyricism to drama in a selection from the oeuvres of
forgotten composers who lived and worked in Naples.
The programme’s nestor is Francesco Provenzale,
founder of the Neapolitan opera school and vocal
Baroque’s innovator. Luigi Rossi and Cristofaro Caresana
– Provenzale’s successors as treasurer of San Gennaro –
also gained national fame with their sumptuous operas,
cantatas and canzonettas.

Domenico Scarlatti has gone down in history as a

no less impressive and spans almost all common musical
genres and all phases of his career. Vox Luminis has chosen
several of Scarlatti’s finest motets, including the Stabat
mater, a highlight of his sacred oeuvre, in which tradition
and innovation meet each other in a brilliant stile misto.
The Salve regina dates from the year of Scarlatti’s death
and is the charming and moving synthesis of a life full of
music. In between these works sonatas will be played on
TivoliVredenburg’s Baroque organ.

GIVE AN ENCORE. When ordering tickets you can choose to make
a voluntary contribution of € 12,50 to De Toegift (The Encore). With
the money collected in this way we pay for tickets for someone
with limited income. The tickets reach those eligible by way of the
Festival’s partnerships with locally based organizations such as the
Armoedecoalitie Utrecht and the Voedselbank Cultuur.
REDUCED RATE
The reduced rate for Friends is valid for a
maximum of two people per concert. For
students and holders of the U-Pas and
CJP there is an extra low rate. You will
need to be able to show a valid (international)
student ID card, CJP or U-Pas at
the entrance of the venue.
SEATING CATEGORIES AND
ALLOCATION
Seats at some concert venues are divided
into categories. Category 1 offers
the best view of the musicians, whilst
category 2 is a little less favourable but
cheaper. For many concerts the seats
are sold by category, row and seat,
whereas at other venues there is free
choice of seating. Which system applies
will be stated (in Dutch) on your ticket.
WHEELCHAIR ACCESS
If you wish to make use of an allocated
wheelchair space, you can order tickets
only by phone or in writing. To check
accessability for each concert venue,
please visit our website: oudemuziek.nl.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION
FOR THE DISABLED
Unfortunately, some concert venues are
not sufficiently accessible to disabled
people. The location map in this brochure
(see page 153) shows by location
whether it has wheelchair access,
whether there are disabled parking
places in the immediate vicinity, and
whether there is a loop system installed
to support the hard of hearing.
CONCERT DURATION
Most concerts last an hour and have no
intermission. The 8 p.m. concerts are
longer and generally finish before 10
p.m. Information about each concert
includes its duration and whether it has
an intermission.
