Over the next twenty four hours, you have an opportunity to support early music activities at UNLV.

Please consider donating something to help us with instrument acquisition and maintenance, hiring early music experts to work with our students, supporting the UNLV Early Music Ensemble, and relaunching the Las Vegas Baroque Festival!

I hope that you will consider giving something as part of Rebels Give in support of such goals. No amount is too small and every gift will be put to good use in support of early music.
In order to donate, click on the link below. Once you are in the donation system, look for the field marked “Do you have additional gift instructions?” In that field, enter “Friends of Early Music,” and your funds will be directed to the right place.

Unfortunately, COVID-19 has inflicted its blow on us. We must postpone --- note that I refuse to say "cancel"! --- the Festival and Conference. The College of Fine Arts has suspended all on-campus activities until April 12, and possibly beyond, as we wait and see how this pandemic develops.

But -- we will find a way to get our musicians and scholars back together, either in fall 2020 or spring 2021! Please keep your eye on our website and page for updates.
