Welcome to early music at the University of Colorado Boulder College of Music!

The ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú´«Ã½ÎÄ»¯×÷Æ· Early Music Ensemble is devoted to the performance and study of music primarily from the 16^th-18^th centuries, with attention to period style, performance practices and historical context. We present two concerts each semester.

The ensemble is multi-faceted and comprises a Baroque string orchestra that at times adds singers, winds or brass, and a variety of individually formed chamber ensembles for instrumentalists and vocalists. It’s also possible for students to work on solo repertoire.

Both modern and period instruments are used; the college owns nine Baroque bows, Flemish and French style harpsichords and several reproductions of period instruments.

Our goal is to present historically stylistic performances from a repertoire that spans two centuries, and to include a variety of undergraduate and graduate music students regardless of prior interest or expertise.

A recent bequest from Eugene Eaton has brought new visibility to the College of Music’s early music program.
