Quodlibet 1 – Thursday 13 October, 18:00-19:30 CEST

The End(s) of Early Music: The current state of Early Music departments across Europe

Early Music has come a long way in the last decades and currently plays a vital role in higher education institutions. The recent period has seen many new challenges for Early Music education: so, it is important to acknowledge the achievements thus far, but we must also reflect and plan for the future of Historically Informed Performance Practice across both theory and practice.

The main aim of this first meeting is to identify the needs and challenges of the participating Early Music departments. The members of the AEC’s Early Music Platform Task Force will present themselves and the REMA in more detail and open the discussion with the audience.

AEC’s Early Music Platform Task Force: Isaac Alonso de Molina (The Hague), Kelly Landerkin (Basel), Anton Steck (Trossingen), Claire Michon (Poitiers)

Veerle Declerck, president of REMA (Réseau Européen de Musique Ancienne)

 

We are looking forward to e-meeting you on Thursday 13 October!
