Tone Madison's Sarah Witman sits down with Cheryl Bensman-Rowe and Paul Rowe, co-directors of the Madison Early Music Festival (madisonearlymusic.org), which takes place July 9 through 16 on the UW-Madison campus. They discuss Shakespeare’s “death-iversary” (their words, and the theme of this year's festival), the finer points of Renaissance instruments, and what to expect from the week’s festivities.
