Beyond Baroque: 2026–27 Season
Our 2026–2027 season continues to explore the theme Beyond Baroque, unfolding as a vibrant journey across cultures, voices, and time. It represents the start of our 50th anniversary celebrations with bold imagination and a global perspective.
From the grandeur of Monteverdi’s Vespro della Beata Vergine (1610) to three richly curated festivals—Crossroads of Time, tracing the sounds of trade and conquest; In Her Voice, centering powerful female artistry and poetic expression; and Mediterranean Currents, weaving together stories from Lebanon, Italy, and Persia—the season highlights connection, migration, and cultural dialogue. Anchored by legendary artists like Chanticleer and Jordi Savall, whose work has shaped the evolution of early music worldwide, this milestone year honors EMS’s legacy while embracing a future defined by inclusivity, discovery, and renewal.
