Connecticut Early Music Festival 2026
June 6–21 | Chester, New London, Old Lyme and Niantic
Seven hundred years of music. Six concerts. One extraordinary Connecticut summer.
Artists reviewed in the New York Times, the Boston Globe, and the Miami Herald are performing right here on the shoreline this June. Baroque dances rooted in New Spain, medieval French song, the music of Revolutionary-era America, a comic reimagining of Bach and Pergolesi, and a full orchestra and chorus closing the festival with Mozart’s Requiem — one of the most powerful works ever written.
You don’t have to leave the shoreline. The music comes to you.
