by REMA: RÉSEAU EUROPÉEN DE MUSIQUE ANCIENNE Published November 18, 2024
The lingering effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, the upheaval of global conflict, rising pressure on artists and the arts, the urgency of climate change, the rapid digital transformation and inflation have all left their mark on our activities. To support this changing landscape, REMA is inviting all early-music professionals to contribute to a series of short thematic surveys. These surveys covers key areas such as digital practices, diversity, audience engagement, funding, and sustainability. A special survey targeting promoters and ensembles focuses on the dynamics of concert programming.
Anyone involved in the early music sector, REMA members or not, is welcome to participate. Take the survey.
Change ringing started in North America in the 1740s. It's a musical team sport, it's math for musicians, it's an exercise for engineers. The ringing of the bells in an ordered sequence, as a piece of music, is a historical hobby that's been growing in the U.S. in recent decades. We checked in with the MIT Guild of Bell Ringers in Boston to peal a bell ourselves.
Academia de Música Antigua de MedellÃn is one of a few schools in Latin America that teaches historical performance. But newer students will need instruments. In a brilliant partnership, the inaugural Latin American Congress on Baroque Luthiery will help supply the Academia with a range of stringed instruments.
The Amherst Early Music Festival's Baroque Opera Project this summer focused on a rarity, Georg Reutter’s 'Dafne.' Students and early-career singers and instrumentalists brought this ancient #metoo tale to life.
