Gotham Early Music Scene

GEMS Project 2011

Welcome to the home page of our fifth annual series of sampler concerts, showcasing the richness of New York's early music performing community.  This is your chance to preview the offerings of 8 of the City's finest ensembles in three venues -- West Side, East Side, and Downtown.  The Saturday evening concert will feature an unusual demonstration of the relationship between Galileo's scientific work and his musical involvements, and will end with a gala reception.

Please join us!
