About EMP
Members of Early Music Princeton (EMP), directed by harpsichordist Wendy Young, perform vocal and instrumental repertoire spanning the centuries from Medieval and Renaissance to High Baroque, with a special focus on historical performance practices. EMP’s ensembles include the Early Music Princeton Singers, Viol Consort, Chamber Players (both modern and original instruments), and the newly formed Wind Band. Early Music Unleashed! utilizes a variety of computer programs, baroque instruments, and the human voice, to reinterpret “old” music in “new” ways.
EMP has a large instrument collection, including harpsichords, Baroque violins, violas, cellos, and a full range of both viols and recorders, to name but a few, allowing for the exploration and performance of a wide range of repertoire.
Wendy Young is joined by faculty members Leah Gale Nelson (Baroque Violin and Viola), Arnie Tanimoto (Viola da gamba and Baroque Cello), and Jacqueline Horner-Kwiatek (Mezzo-Soprano), all internationally renowned early music specialists. We look forward to continuing to expand our repertoire and to bringing early music to both Princeton University and the community.
