Due to the COVID-19 crisis we had to cancel several concerts and our 2020 summer schools which has created a financial challenge for us. We rely on the generous support of many friends, benefactors and individuals, now more than ever. Help if you can, however big or small, your contribution will make a difference and will help us secure CEM’s future and ensure we can resume live concerts as soon as possible.

Director of our Baroque Summer School
Ave Atque Vale
Our distinguished and much loved director of the Baroque Summer School, Professor Peter Holman, has announced his retirement after the Baroque Summer School of 25 July - 1 August 2021, after more than 25 years' association with Cambridge Early Music. We shall miss him very much but we are thrilled to announce the appointment of Laurence Cummings as the new Baroque Summer School Director from Summer 2022 onwards. Laurence Cummings is one of Britain’s most exciting and versatile exponents of historical performance both as conductor and harpsichord player.

He has been Musical Director of the London Handel Festival since 1999 and Artistic Director of the Internationale Händel-Festpiele Göttingen since 2012, as well as acting as Music Director for Orquestra Barroca Casa da Musica Porto.
