Follow the link for the festival programme.

Running annually since 1994, the festival promises:

Great concerts, international stars and exciting and inspirational programmes brought to the heart of Birmingham

Which sounds lovely.  Shows will take place at the Barber Institute, St George’s and St Augustine’s churches in Edgbaston and St Phillips Cathedral.

In case you’re too embarrassed to ask, early music refers to Baroque, Renaissance, choral and other music in that vein. Here, have a link to the wikipedia entry.
