The Madison Early Music Festival Returns!
January 23–25, 2026 | University of Wisconsin–Madison
After years of silence, the Madison Early Music Festival (MEMF) returns—renewed in spirit and vision, and dedicated to Uniting the Arts.
Join us for three inspiring days of music-making, movement, and discovery, where artists, students, community members, and connoisseurs of Baroque music come together to celebrate creativity across centuries.
Together, we’ll bring Madison’s early-music tradition back to life—bridging past and future through creativity, science, and sound.
