About NWCEMS
Founded in 1989, the center has involved over 300 people, local and from
throughout the U.S., in its offerings. NWCEMS presents classes for musicians of
all ability levels: singers and instrumentalists alike are welcome to explore
the curriculum.
It is our goal to enhance the appreciation and enjoyment of early music
through increased knowledge and skill. We believe our offerings will deepen our
students' love for the music of these earlier periods. Join us as we
re-discover early music.
The Northwest Center for Early Music Studies is a division of the Early Music Guild of Seattle.
Scholarship Program
NWCEMS maintains an active scholarship program. Scholarships are awarded on a
basis of financial need, independent of age, ability level, or musical
specialty.
Anyone for whom class or workshop fees are a financial hardship is encouraged
to request partial scholarship assistance.
