Our program committee has completed the Bloomington Early Music Festival for May 2009. However, you may choose to present your program as a fringe concert.
In order to become a fringe concert, several things must be considered:
Your concert must be scheduled at times that do not conflict with the BLEMF ticketed concerts nor the rehearsal times of these concerts. You will be more likely to have a larger audience if you choose among the following times, however you may choose any time as long as there are no conflicts:
* Saturday, May 16 afternoon
* Sunday, May 17 evening
* Thursday, May 21 evening
* Saturday, May 23 afternoon
* Sunday, May 24 evening
Your concert will be arranged by you solely (i.e. finding a venue, arranging rehearsal times).
Your concert will not be a ticketed concert in the BLEMF ticket package.
Please notify BLEMF when you can verify your arrangements as soon as possible. We want to make sure there are no conflicts with the BLEMF ticketed program and want to post your program on our website.
Finally, you may submit your program to the BLEMF office by April 1st in order for it to be printed in the BLEMF Festival booklet for a fee of $25.00.
Once again, local photographer Kevin Atkins has done a fabulous job of documenting the festival. You can view the images by visiting Kevin's website. There are small images that link to large images.
Photos of the opera by set designer Seamus Bourne are also available for viewing by visiting Seamus' website. These are large images.
Volunteers are needed for ushering and ticket taking. This is a fun way to help out the festival and attend a great concert.
