Brian Butler finds many delights in next weekend’s Brighton Early Music Festival

The 2019 programme for Brighton Early Music Festival is all about change and changing times. With its theme of Metamorphosis, the Festival will present twenty seven events across Brighton & Hove this autumn, exploring transformation in many intriguing ways.
