The EMA Summit brings the early-music community of North and South America together for three days of thought-provoking presentations, performances, workshops, and networking, including featured performances by outstanding local partners.
The 2026 EMA Summit will be held on the University of Washington campus in Seattle, October 22-24. We’ll have a fantastic line up of specially-curated Summit sessions 9:30-6:00pm PDT daily, with help from partner Early Music Seattle, and livestreaming will be available for all sessions!
Those attending the Summit in person will also be treated to the Young Performers Festival, Emerging Artists Showcase, and performances from Sound Salon, Seattle Bach Festival, and the Byrd Ensemble at nearby Seattle venues.
Pay-what-you-can registration will open in July. We hope to see you in Seattle!
