PANEL - Influences of research on the market

Research, at the source of Early Music performances, has a huge influence over what is programmed or recorded, how it is performed, and is the first step to creating the aesthetic taste and demands of the audience. Let’s hear the success stories and tips of some major “influencers”!

Professional meetings

The primary aim of this session is to enable as many participants as possible, especially those unfamiliar with each other, to connect in person. Contrary to other events such as “New Deal” (for our French participants), it is not meant to be a music export networking session. This networking event will last 2.5 hours and will include both random matching and scheduled meetings.
Sessions only available for registered participants.

PANEL - DIVERSITY IN THE EARLY MUSIC FIELD

From an artistic perspective, looking for more diversity in Early Music programmes, repertoires or representation brings a shift in perspective, and a continuous questioning or our practices: an asset in a creative sector! A conversation built on input from the research, performance, and programming sectors.

EDUCATION

Beyond Concert Culture: Initiatives from the Conservatories

Today, courses and seminars on “entrepreneurship” proliferate in higher education in the arts. However, a meaningful engagement of artists with society at large seems to require more than “audience development”. Is there a deeper point that we might be missing? What can we bring into the discussion, from an Early Music perspective?

Anne Smith, Schola Cantorum Basiliensis 
Judith Paquier, Les traversées baroques and le Pôle Aliénor

INSTRUMENT MAKING

Consider this session as your info point regarding everything you may need to know about instruments: how they are made today and how is 3D printing changing this?

concert - b'rock orchestra

Soprano Jeanine De Bique – the perfect partner in pleasure for the adventurous B’Rock Orchestra – enchants us with a programme full of metamorphoses, penned by the three Baroque heroes: Lully, Purcell and Handel. 

Excerpts from the operas Dido and Aeneas, Alcina, The Fairy Queen, Amadis and others recount tales of (un)happy loves and their divine consequences, for better or for worse. B’Rock Orchestra and their Vocal Consort bring us musical storytelling at its best.

Tickets can be purchased at registration.
