Over the past 24 seasons, Milwaukee's Early Music Now has gained an enviable reputation as one of the most creative and vital presenters of Medieval, Renaissance, and early Baroque artists and ensembles in the United States. Performers from all over the world vie for a spot on EMN's roster, and regularly comment on the sizeable and knowledgable early music audience in Milwaukee, as well as the beauty and hospitality of the city.
With the announcement of its 25th Anniversary Season: "A Season of Celebrations," EMN sets out to survey music from England, Germany, Italy, and Spain spanning eight centuries, performed in six stellar concerts by eight artist/ensembles representing the stars of the international early music world. With a decided emphasis on music of the Renaissance, the series also highlights one concert each of Baroque virtuosity and Medieval creativity, continuing the emphasis on music "Across Borders -- Across Time."
The season's star-studded lineup of early music virtuosi includes: Jordi and Ferran Savall; The Theatre of Early Music with soprano Deborah York and countertenor Daniel Taylor; Stile Antico; a Medieval band: Shira Kammen, Margriet Tindemans, and Peter Maund; Piffaro - the Renaissance Band; King's Noyse; Ellen Hargis; Ensemble Calmus Leipzig; and QNG: Quartet New Generation Recorder Collective.
Matching glorious music to the most appropriate venue brings concerts to many of the city's landmark halls: the UWM Helene Zelazo Center for the Performing Arts, Wisconsin Lutheran College, St. John's Cathedral, All Saints' Cathedral, and St. Joseph Chapel. As is its custom, most concerts will be on Saturdays beginning at 5:00, with the exception of the October 8 season opener by Jordi and Ferran Savall (at 8:00), and the December 10 Christmas concert by Stile Antico (at 7:30). The remaining dates are November 19 (the actual anniversary date of EMN's founding in 1986), February 18, March 17, and April 21.
