The Early Music Youth Academy is a program of Seattle Historical Arts for Kids, which now includes opportunities in both Baroque and Renaissance repertoires for student levels and ages. The original EMYA program (2014-2020) grew around a group of students who shared the joys of Renaissance chamber music on bowed and plucked strings throughout their middle and high school years. That ensemble appeared at the Berkeley Festival of Early Music, performed for the Seattle Public Library’s exhibit of Shakespeare’s First Folio, and opened for concerts by the acclaimed Renaissance bands Piffaro and the Baltimore Consort.
