While we are not able to present the events we had planned this fall, we remain committed to SHARING THE MUSIC! We have worked closely with two beloved guest ensembles as well as the incredible directors and artists of our own BEMF Chamber Opera Series to present FOUR EXCLUSIVE BROADCASTS. All these are being made available for FREE to BEMF audiences.
We remain committed to compensating the world-class artists who bring these performances to life, now more than ever. While we will present these four events free of charge, donations are deeply appreciated. We are profoundly grateful for the support of our devoted fans and friends around the world. Please visit BEMF.org/support to learn more about making a tax-deductible contribution to the Boston Early Music Festival.
