Our primary mission is to provide a superior education experience in a friendly and intimate atmosphere for our students. Faculty members are world class early music specialists who excel in both performance and teaching. The scholarships will provide opportunities for college students and people with limited funds to attend the Medieval & Renaissance Workshop. Scholarships will be offered to singers, instrumentalists, consorts, and ensembles.

In conjunction with the first annual St. John's Fall Festival, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. on October 5th, SFEMS will be participating in a booth and will feature several musical presentations. Fun for all the family: there will be face painting, good eats, and lots of fun! People coming for the afternoon workshop should allow extra time for parking.We hope to see you on October 5th!
