Panel – What does Europe do for Early Music?
Available throughout the Summit:
Intro video | Early Music in Early Europe – Katarina Livljanic, singer, Dialogos ensemble / Martha Gutierrez , Relais Culture Europe – “European funding opportunities”
Already in the early Middle Ages, musicians would travel extensively through whole parts of Europe. This resulted in common inspirations, in a shared culture. Still today, Europe is the playing field for a staggering number of musicians and musical works. What do Europe and ‘Europe’ do for Early Music? This session aims at exploring on the one hand what concrete laws and programmes are fostering European exchange and travels, and on the other hand what opportunities Europe can bring to the Early Music sector.
