OUR GIFT — IEM’s 60th Anniversary Gift to the Community
OUR GIFT is the Indianapolis Early Music Festival’s 60th-anniversary invitation to the community! Join us as we celebrate 60 years of bringing Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque music to life.
In celebration of our 60th Anniversary, most concerts will use a Pay-What-You-Want admission with a $1 minimum per seat (excluding the Blakeman Gerber Indianapolis International Baroque Competition). There is no fixed ticket price—your contribution supports the musicians, the festival, and future community access to early music.
All concerts use Pay-What-You-Want admission with a $1 minimum per seat.
Tickets are still required.
