The EMA Summit brings the early-music community of North and South America together for three days of thought-provoking presentations, performances, workshops, and networking, including featured performances by Apollo’s Fire and Les Délices. The 2024 EMA Summit will be on the campus of Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), October 20-22, and will also highlight early-music activities at CWRU and across Cleveland.
