EARLY MUSIC ALBERTA
Igniting Early Music Culture Across Alberta
Good music makes us all happy; great music transforms and transports us.
Early Music Alberta strives to create inclusive events where die-hard early music connoisseurs and newcomers alike can submerge themselves in enjoyable music.
Internationally-renowned Edmonton cellist, Josephine van Lier, developed our organization, with a mandate to preserve and grow the discipline of early music through historically-informed performances, recordings, workshops, interdisciplinary educational programs, publications, and electronic media, as well as creating an inclusive space, where the community can participate.

Early Music Alberta produces an annual concert series, with the Early Music Festival as Alberta’s preeminent artistic event devoted to the presentation and preservation of music written prior to 1850. We host concerts, workshops, masterclasses, dance and reading sessions devoted to early music.
In service to the Alberta early music community, our events bring together ensembles, musicians, and audiences from across Alberta, Canada, and the world. Community concerts presented by amateur musicians are intermixed with professional performances by national and internationally recognized musicians, creating a forum to further develop the practice of early music.
We are building a larger community of those who love early music.
Join us for our Annual Concert Series in Edmonton, Alberta, featuring local, national, and international early music specialists, and community ensembles.
