The Madison Early Music Festival is exploring its North American roots in 2012.  During this year of the Presidential election we look back to the early music of our nation, from the early Colonists in the 1600's, the Revolutionary era, all the way to the Civil War.  The music of Canada from Cape Breton and Acadia will also be featured.

Musical compostions brought to the United States and Canada from Europe, musical discoveries from the library of Thomas Jefferson, the traditions of the New England Singing School of William Billings, and the Moravian Loud Bands, will provide a rich tapestry of music from North America, with more colors than red, white, and blue!
