Welcome to the Nashville Early Music Project, a new organization dedicated to promoting early music in the Nashville area. There's a lot to learn about us and a lot to do this new season, and you are going to learn all about it if you keep coming back to us regularly. But for now we just want to say, 'hello,' and tell you about our debut season. We hope you will join us for every event. We hope you will bring your friends. We hope you will tell other people about us. Most of all, we hope you will share our love for early music and be part of our community of performers and enthusiasts. Great things are being planned for the Nashville Early Music Project and we want you to be a part of them. Check back regularly, or subscribe to us, to be kept up to date as we grow and thrive.
