About Early Music Hawaii

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.

TRIO SEFARDI, a northern Virginia-based ensemble, performs traditional songs of the Sephardim, the descendants of Jews exiled from Spain in 1492. Their repertoire draws on the song traditions of Sephardic communities from the former Yugoslavia, Greece, Bulgaria, Turkey, and North Africa. Early music instruments such as medieval rebec and renaissance lute; violin and viola da gamba; and ethnic dumbek, riq, and Pontic lyra are played.

General Seating $35 • Students with ID $10
