National Early Music Association

The National Early Music Association (NEMA) is an organization dedicated to promoting and supporting early music—compositions from the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque periods, typically performed with historical accuracy. It connects musicians, scholars, and enthusiasts to share resources, organize events, and raise awareness about this rich musical heritage. NEMA aims to preserve authentic performance practices and encourage new interest in early music through education, advocacy, and collaboration. By fostering a community around early music, it helps ensure these centuries-old compositions remain vibrant and accessible today.
