Early Music Hawaii is a nonprofit organization established to promote the performance and enjoyment of Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque music in our Islands, and to explore historical performance practices.
We seek to encourage performers and audiences by publicizing concerts and workshops in Hawai’i and to provide a forum for groups and individuals interested in early music.
Modest membership and voluntary contributions sustain these efforts and this website. More substantial annual sponsorships are always welcome. We aim to maintain ticket prices to individual concerts by EMH performers and leading US and international early music ensembles at a competitive level.

Lutenist and composer John Dowland was a Renaissance celebrity. This year we celebrate 400 years of his music with a concert featuring renowned lutenist John Lenti, early music specialist and soprano Carrie Henneman Shaw, and the Early Music Hawaii Singers and Players. Dowland’s world will be brought vividly to life through his own compositions paired with those of his continental colleagues—composers he encountered during extensive travels across Europe. These works trace a rich emotional arc, from the outlandish and hilarious to the mournful and deeply moving.
