Welcome to the June 2023 Boston Early Music Festival, North America’s premier celebration of Early Music.
After the success of our 2021 Virtual Festival, we are thrilled to return in person for our 2023 Festival and Exhibition— A Celebration of Women—June 4 to 11.
We have planned a spectacular array of events honoring the work of women, both current and past, that will illuminate the integral role that women have always played in great classical music.
Subscription packages and individual tickets are on sale now! Select four or more events of YOUR CHOICE and save 10% or GET IT ALL and save 20%!
To best protect the most vulnerable members of our community and those artists who cannot mask while performing, we are requiring guests to wear well-fitted face masks at all in-door events at the 2023 Festival. Please visit BEMF.org/safety to review our current policies. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
