About
Ars Musica Chicago makes early music relevant and engaging for modern listeners through historically informed performance and community engagement for all ages. Since its inception nearly 40 years ago, Ars Musica Chicago has presented countless concerts, workshops, and educational programs highlighting the richness and cultural heritage of early music. Under the leadership of its Artistic Director, harpsichordist Jason J. Moy, Ars Musica Chicago has distinguished itself in Chicago’s vibrant early music scene as one of the few ensembles dedicated to period instrument performances of Renaissance, Baroque, and early Classical chamber repertoire.
Recent events for Chicago Public School students include a concert showcasing the music of Elisabeth-Claude Jacquet de la Guerre and Isabella Leonarda at Franklin Fine Arts Academy, and a period instrument demonstration and performance at Stephen T. Mather High School, for which Ars Musica Chicago received an Early Music America Outreach Grant in 2017.
