Founded in October, 1976, The Winnipeg Early Music Society was formed as an organization where enthusiasts of the medieval, renaissance and baroque periods of music might come together to discover and promote the music of these periods, to provide performance opportunities, and to acquire new knowledge about it through workshops, concerts and master classes. They see themselves as “ambassadors” of this vital and fascinating music and love to share their passion for it, to showcase the beautiful simplicity of the melodies and historically fascinating stories and words behind the music.

For Culture Days 2021, they will present several ensembles, both instrumental and vocal, playing this listenable, friendly music in the picturesque Dalnavert Museum. A new group will take the stage approximately every half hour, and you will be treated to recorder consorts, harpsichord, strings and more – you may even see some English Country Dancers! This is a FREE event will (registration required) and will be livestreamed if restrictions limit in person events.

Registration for this event is now CLOSED.Thank you for your interest!
