Early Music Colorado

Membership

Early Music Colorado is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting Early Music by sponsoring educational programs and performances by Early Music ensembles. Use our Online Membership Form or Mail-in Form to join. Here are some of the events Early Music Colorado sponsors:

Fall Festival of Early Music at the Boulder Public Library. Features presentations, workshops, and recitals by both local performers and special guests.

Fall Festival Concert at St. John's Episcopal Church. In 2009 we brought in the internationally-known duo Asteria. In 2010, we will feature viruoso Baroque guitarist Richard Savino.

Soirées of Early Music offer members a venue for performing short programs in informal settings.

Monteverdi 2010. EMC joins with First United Methodist Church to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the publication of Monteverdi's Vespers of 1610 with a series of concerts.

In addition, the generous support of our members allows us to bring touring performers to the Front Range, often at short notice. We have been able to showcase the Texas group Istanpitta, Paris-based harpsichordist Jory Vinikour, London gamba virtuoso Alison Crum, England's Rose Consort of Viols, and internationally known duo Asteria. This is a tremendous achievement for an organization that relies on an all-volunteer staff and individual membership support. Won't you consider joining us to show your support for the arts and help us continue our work to bring Early Music education and performances to our community? No other arts organization in Colorado focuses on early music performance and educational experiences. And, no other arts organization does so much with so little! Our all-volunteer staff sees that every dollar directly benefits our community through our artistic and cultural programs. Your support will help us continue our other important programs:
