Welcome to our 2022-2023 season as we celebrate ten years of bringing early music performances and workshops to the Washington DC area.
We start on September 17 with a concert to benefit CEM and our indispensable partner Music at Saint George’s.
Borrow – Transform – Create: Music by Handel, Karosi, and More features renowned organist and noted improviser Bálint Karosi on harpsichord and Saint George’s new Pasi Op. 28 organ, and virtouso recorder and traverso player, Héloïse Degrugillier, a long-time favorite of the CEM audience.
The proceeds of this concert will go toward building a solid foundation for Capitol Early Music and Music at Saint George’s. Please be as generous as you can!
