**NEW EVENTS CALENDAR COMING JULY 2024**
EMA are in the midst of upgrading to a new and improved events calendar. We ask members not to submit events until the new calendar is installed. We estimate completion by the beginning of August. Unfortunately, we are unable to carry events submitted to the current calendar. When the new calendar is available, EMA members will receive an email with instructions on how to submit events, as well as other new features. We apologize for the inconvenience.
fortepiano maintenance workshop
July 29 - July 31
This three day long class, taught by R J Regier, will offer practical, hands-on introduction the the care and maintenance of the wood-framed Viennese fortepiano. Subjects will include how to handle the seemingly delicate parts of a Viennese Prellmechanik without trepidation or damage; how to regulate and repair the action, keyboard, and dampers for best performance; and to practice tuning an instrument much more lightly strung than today’s piano. Many steps are familiar, however, a few are unique to the Prellmechanic with no counterpart in the modern piano. 5-octave and 6 1/2-octave fortepianos will be available for the class.
This class is intended for the fortepiano technician (or fortepiano owner) who wants to develop their skills.
The EMA Member Concerts & Events Calendar is for time-sensitive events, such as in-person concerts, livestreaming performances or video premieres, and live online events such as webinars. Events hosted by licensed or incorporated organizations/ensembles must be posted from their EMA Organization Member account. Videos available on-demand (temporarily or permanently) should not be submitted as multi-day events. Please submit Early Music News & Press Releases about these or other activities.
Highlights from this calendar are included in the weekly E-Notes email newsletter (Tuesdays). Selections are made based on variety of event types and geographic regions.
EMA does not share non-EMA events on our social media platforms.
