The Five College Early Music Program is a collaboration among schools, programs, and teachers in the Five College Consortium.
Founded in 1979, the Five College Early Music Program is a collaboration among schools, programs, and teachers in the Five College Consortium (Amherst, Smith, Mount Holyoke, and Hampshire Colleges and UMass Amherst) to offer students and affiliates the opportunity to explore the rich and varied music of the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque periods. Participants may take private lessons, participate in chamber music courses or larger ensembles, or study historical dance, under the guidance of specialist instructors in the field of early music. The Early Music Program also hosts or co-hosts performances and residencies by professional early music performers and ensembles.
