PERFORMANCES
The year-round workshops of the Saint John Early Music Festival culminate in
performances at the Saint John Early Music Festival each May and in other concerts
presented throughout the year in Saint John and elsewhere. These include a
Young Musicians Concert presented in June, the Summer Classics Series of noontime concerts presented in partnership with the Saint John Arts Centre throughout June and August, short informal presentations in a variety of community locations, and full concert programs in the
autumn and winter. Audiences are treated to lively musical performances
interwoven with entertaining comments about the composers and their music.
