Interview: Elijah McCormack

Elijah McCormack sheds light on the rapidly growing but tightly knit early-music scene. Drawing on training at Indiana University’s Historical Performance Institute and work with leading early-music programs, he describes a field where specialization, intellectual rigor, and collegiality go hand-in-hand—revealing why early music has become an increasingly attractive career track for young singers.
