EARLY MUSIC SUMMIT – Our Future Past

What is the Early Music Summit?

REMA – European Early Music Network is organising an international Early Music Summit between 20 and 22 November 2020 in partnership with BOZAR, Brussels. REMA is a pan-European network, supported by the EU’s Creative Europe programme, which represents c.90 of Europe’s most prestigious Early Music Festivals.
