Welcome
to The Center for Old Music
in the New World!
Founded in 1977 and based in Lexington, KY, The Center for Old Music in the New World is dedicated to uplifting early music in the Bluegrass.
​
We accomplish this goal through Musick's Company, a community of Kentucky vocalists and instrumentalists dedicated to the performance of early music compositions. These concerts feature a variety of instruments and historically accurate performance techniques to create an unique and immersive experience for our audiences.
​
For almost 50 years, The Center for Old Music in the New World has been one of only a few musical nonprofits dedicated solely to presenting early music in the state of Kentucky, a distinction we carry with pride.
