London International Festival of Early Music

It operated as the Greenwich Early Music Festival until 2016, when it made what was expected to be a temporary move to Blackheath.

[4] Throughout its history it has had a close relationship with The Early Music Shop, which supports and runs the Festival.

During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 a series of recorded concerts under the name LIFEM: Digital replaced in-person events.

Winners of the biennial competition receive cash prizes and perform a solo recital at LIFEM in the year following their win.

Previous winners have included Tabea Debus,[8] Piers Adams,[9] Robert Ehrlich,[10] Ashley Solomon and Chris Orton.
