Mission
The San Diego Early Music Society (SDEMS) fosters the appreciation and performance of early music (music of the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque periods) in the greater San Diego area through concert presentations. SDEMS seeks to diversify and enhance cultural life in our community by presenting outstanding concerts by internationally recognized musicians. Early music is an important branch of the Western cultural tradition that is underserved by mainstream musical organizations in San Diego. SDEMS performances often feature the use of musical instruments and performance practices appropriate to the period in which the music was composed.
