Festival de musique ancienne de Sackville Festival of Early Music

The Sackville Festival of Early Music regrets to announce the postponement of Dame Emma Kirkby’s Atlantic Canadian debut at our 2025 Festival due to a family emergency. As our thoughts remain with Kirkby and her family, we are working with her team to identify a new date for our 22nd season in 2026.

​

As a result of these circumstances, the Sackville Festival of Early Music will begin on Saturday, September 27 (7:30pm) featuring Ensemble SFEM, and continue as planned, Sunday, September 28 (3:00pm) with Moncton’s Choeur Louisbourg under the brilliant direction of Monique Richard. 

​

We understand this is disappointing for you, our patrons, supports, and funders. In response, we offer three options:

​

1- Patrons retain their tickets for the Dame Emma Kirkby concert for use during our 2026 season. 

​

2- Patrons accept the loss of the ticket price but convert it into a donation, for which the Sackville Festival of Early Music will offer a matching income tax receipt. 

​

3- Patrons will be issued a refund for ticket costs by the Sackville Festival of Early Music. 

​

Please contact me about your choice, Shawn Bostick, General Manager of the Sackville Festival of Early Music at sackvilleearlymusic@gmail.com

 

We thank you for your support as we navigate this unfortunate situation. 

 

Sincerely, The SFEM Team
