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.
The Oklahoma Baroque Orchestra, founded in 2022, has rapidly blossomed under artistic director Dylan Madoux. His goal is to create a self-sustaining early-music community for Oklahoma City and the region. People around the country are starting to take notice.
In appointing Marie-Nathalie Lacoursière to lead its prestigious dance activities, BEMF has picked a multidisciplinary choreographer, dancer, actor, and musician. She has been 'an invaluable collaborator for many years and is at the top of her field.'
Creative artists in early music are hoping to attract new fans by offering more than old music in predictable formations. By design, they break from the status quo, with soap-bubble sets for Vivaldi and Bach in spoken English. Historically informed? 'It’s historically inspired, which is maybe more important.'
