ABOUT BLOOMINGTON EARLY MUSICEstablished in 1992 by Stanley Ritchie and friends, Bloomington Early Music started out as an inspiring community concert series in Bloomington.
In the summer of 1994, a group of enterprising and talented students from Indiana University’s Historical Performance Institute (then named Early Music Institute) took their artistry into the same supportive community and formed the annual Bloomington Early Music Festival, which grew and quickly attracted national attention. Since then, the festival and organization’s annual offerings have included some of the most significant performers and ensembles in the field today, many of whom have deep artistic roots in Bloomington as faculty, students, and alumni of the HPI. With a passionate commitment to a diverse approach to performance, the Festival has been strengthened through collaborations with performers of different styles and cherishes its support of emerging talent. |
