Dorothy Fitch: "As the secretary of AEMS, I communicate with you about your ticket purchases and donations, both much-appreciated. My husband and I moved here from New Hampshire in 2009. I play flute and cello and performed in a recorder consort in NH for 25 years. I chose all instrumental music for my picks, and several have stories. It was hard to pick just a few! I hope you enjoy them."

John Anderson, AEMS board member since 2018, shares some of his favorite music with you.

“I’ve selected some of my favorite early music videos and performers to share, although there are so very many to choose from! I felt a mixture of voice and musical instruments was appropriate for early music, and dearly hope you will enjoy these as much as I did collecting them for you to watch!”

John’s goal is to bring the best of early music talent to Arizona through AEMS. He is passionate about baroque music!

A Message from the Arizona Early Music Society

This is a time of wrenching upheaval in public health and in the political and social fabric of our city, state, and country. We cannot ignore violence against Black Americans or ongoing prejudice—racial, ethnic, and religious—that mars the lives of so many, nor can we ignore discrimination due to disability, sexual orientation, national origin, and gender identification.
