The Early Music Society of Queensland Inc (EMSQ) is an enthusiastic community dedicated to the appreciation and promotion of music, instruments, and dance from the Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque and early Classical periods.

As well as hosting workshops and concerts, we have a music library and a collection of Renaissance and Baroque instruments available for hire to members. We also publish a regular newsletter filled with informative articles and updates about the early music scene.
