Early Music Now

About Early Music Now

Founded in 1986 by Thallis Hoyt Drake and a group of passionate community members, Early Music Now is committed to creating lively connections with the past through historically informed presentations of music composed before 1800. As the only concert series presenter in Wisconsin focusing exclusively on early music, EMN significantly enriches the cultural landscape of the region.

Impact

With over 70,000 performances enjoyed by Milwaukee area residents, EMN has contributed more than $3.2 million to the local economy while maintaining a near-perfect record of positive operating results.

Why Donate?

While ticket revenue covers only 25% of the costs for presenting world-class ensembles, donations play a crucial role in keeping ticket prices affordable and ensuring the continuation of outreach and education programs.
