events
This
is a list of upcoming online Early Music events held via Zoom.
Most
of them are run by one of the regional Early Music Fora.
There
are also a few in-person events listed, but these must obviously be
treated with caution for the moment.
If no link is given, go
to the relevant website and look for the events page.
A list of
all fora websites is given at the foot.
Other groups’
websites may be searched for using Google etc.
