It looks like the Guild for Early Music has taken care to make the appropriate sacrifices to Apollo, since the Sun God will again be smiling on the annual Early Music Festival at Grounds For Sculpture on Sunday (with mostly sunny skies in the forecast and highs in the lower 50s).
The concerts will be held indoors in two galleries at the Seward Johnson Center for the Arts, but the nice weather ensures that recorder players will stroll the grounds and that visitors will be able to take in the sculpture tours, luxuriate in a glorious autumn day, and receive inquiring looks from the peacocks, always on the alert for a potential handout.
14 Early Music groups will present music of the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque and Colonial Eras. The event will take place from 12:30 to 5 p.m. Grounds For Sculpture is located in Hamilton, on the site of the former New Jersey State Fairgounds. You’ll know you’re close when you start to encounter surreal roadside attractions like the 15-foot tooth and the sidewalk bicyclist.
