Press release: Early Music Month, an event by Early Music America

Early Music Month is a grassroots, multi-national campaign sponsored by Early Music America to raise awareness of early music across the month of March. Since 2016, Early Music Month (EMM) has connected enthusiasts, performers, presenters, scholars, builders, students, venues — bringing early music to its widest possible audience.

Anyone enthusiastic about early music and historical performance in the Americas and beyond can become an EMM Partner for free and join 400 individuals and organizations who celebrate Early Music Month in their own communities.

EMA also awards mini-grants for projects in March that expand the role of early music in your community. For 2026, seven projects were selected from across the Americas. We encourage creative proposals for in-person, virtual, and hybrid events. (Check the EMM mini-grants page for 2027 applications and deadlines.)
