About

Early Music Singers (EMS) is a chamber choir led by Dr. Elena Bailey specializing in medieval chant, Renaissance madrigals, masses, and early Baroque vocal music. Participation is open to current CWRU/CIM students and community members. The group varies in size but is usually about 18-25 singers and includes students of varying degree programs (voice, composition, musicology, mathematics, computer science, engineering, business, etc.) as well as other CWRU affiliates. The ensemble performs one or two formal concerts during the academic year.

Director: Dr. Elena Bailey
