What Members Say About Early Music America
 |
I’ve always thought that we, the early music community, are “Early Music America”: we’re all committed to making the music of distant times and
places matter in present-day America. EMA is what we need it to be—a way of raising public awareness, a network of colleagues, a trove of resources—but
only if we make it our own. Robert Mealy, violinist |

I am a founding member of EMA. It has always been great to know that operas, concerts, and workshops I am involved in will be cited and reviewed in
EMAg and have been for over 25 years. This kind of thing is very important to early music professionals. Jennifer Lane, mezzo-soprano |
