“In recent years, Renaissance and Baroque performance in the city has gained
momentum, not least through the vigorous advocacy of a group called
Gotham Early Music Scene.
— Alex Ross, “The New Yorker"

As GEMS celebrates its 15th anniversary, we continue to serve audiences, artists, and organizations devoted to the early music we love.

We are grateful for grants from the New York State Council on the Arts, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, and the Howard Gilman Foundation, but most of our support comes from individuals like you! Please give today.
