How do I watch online?

On the day of the concert, “Watch concert!” and “Watch pre-concert discussion” buttons will appear below the concert listing on this webpage. Click the button and you will be redirected to the Bloomington Early Music YouTube page.

For live concerts & talks, click on the “Live Now” video at the posted start time for the livestream. Concerts will also be livestreamed on our Facebook page, and the recording will then be available to watch on our Facebook video page.

For virtual concerts & talks, these same buttons will take you directly to the videos, which you can watch at your leisure any time between May 26 and June 7.

Educational Workshops

Educational workshops are designed for children and adults who are young-at-heart. Kids under the age of 9 should be accompanied by an adult.

Please consider signing up through the “Reserve my Spot!” buttons under each workshop description. While reservations are not required, knowing attendance numbers ahead of time helps us to plan supplies and space, so that everyone can enjoy the event to the full!
