WHY SUPPORT EMV?

Founded in 1970, Early Music Vancouver is one of the oldest and most successful organizations of its kind in North America. Having taken over administrative management of the Pacific Baroque Orchestra in 2016, EMV is now known not only as a presenter of world-class early music performances, but as a regional producer as well. We present and produce between an average of 40-50 concerts per year in the Vancouver area, and tour regionally with the PBO. Our interest in collaboration and the development of regional early and baroque musicians has cemented our place as one of the leaders of the early music movement.

EMV embraces both the traditional tenets of early music, and the contemporary ideals that have shaped the movement. With one foot planted in the past and one foot planted in the future, EMV delivers some of the highest quality classical music performances in the Pacific Northwest, all within an historical context. EMV is creatively innovative, historically conscious, and fiscally responsible. As such, the organization has seen immense and encouraging growth over the last few years. Private donations account for roughly one third of EMV’s annual income, which is used to further this mandate.

Host an EMV Musician

Do you have a guest room that often sits empty? Do you enjoy well-educated, articulate house guests from across the country and the world? Do you like Classical music? Would you like to get the ‘inside scoop’ about performing from a professional musician? If your answer to any of these questions is ‘yes’, then we invite you to consider joining the growing number of EMV supporters who house visiting guest musicians.

Donate Aeroplan Miles

You can support EMV’s activities by donating your Aeroplan Miles through the Aeroplan Member donation program. EMV can directly receive donated Aeroplan Miles while Aeroplan will generously top up any donated points by an additional 10%! Donated Aeroplan Miles will help support travel costs for the musicians we hire in the future and help us purchase other available items, such as hotel bookings and IT products.
