2004
"The Future of Early Music in America"; June 10-13, 2004
EMA's 2004 national conference featured a variety of professional
development sessions and networking forums, in addition to keynote
speakers and panels of early music artists and administrators. A
vendor's exhibition, featuring the works of period instrument makers,
music publishers and record labels, was also included.
Concurrent with the Early Music America conference and exhibition (June
10-13, 2004), a series of concerts by Bay Area and other performers
also took place. As "Early Music on the Fringe," the series consisted
of over twenty self-produced performances. Two featured performances
were by Chanticleer and members of Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra. The
San Francisco Early Music Society (SFEMS) served as a clearing house
for these programs, providing guidance and support on dates, venues,
and publicity.
