Boston Early Music Festival

Scheduled "Fringe" concerts and events are presented by local and out-of-town groups at venues in Boston and Cambridge.

BEMF's annual season has featured such musicians as The Tallis Scholars, Jordi Savall and Hespèrion XXI, and Les Arts Florissants, as well as the North American débuts of Stile Antico, Bach Collegium Japan, Netherlands Bach Society, and Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin.

The exhibition showcases over 100 early instrument makers, music publishers, service organizations, schools and universities, and associated colleagues.

In 1989, BEMF established an annual concert series to meet demand for year-round performances of early music.

In 2011, BEMF took its chamber production of Handel's Acis and Galatea on a four-city North American tour.
