Welcome to the Early Music Studio of Saint John! The Early Music Studio of Saint John seeks to enrich the cultural life of Saint John and New Brunswick by engaging the community in a variety of performance and educational programs relating to the music of the 17th and 18th centuries. Each May the Studio presents the Saint John Early Music Festival which provides a showcase for performers of early music from New Brunswick and elsewhere. The Festival’s educational and outreach programs include concerts and workshops scheduled throughout the rest of the year which give New Brunswick musicians the opportunity to develop their knowledge of 17th and 18th century music and performance practice through the preparation and performance of baroque and classical repertoire. The Festival awards Early Music Prizes to outstanding local young performers at the New Brunswick Competitive Festival of Music and showcases the prizewinners and other talented young musicians in its annual Young Musicians Concert. The Early Music Schools Initiative visits a number of schools in the Greater Saint John area each year, introducing children to composers, music and instruments from the 17th and 18th centuries. For detailed information on all our programs, please explore our website. We look forward to sharing this wonderful music with you!
