PANEL - What is the scope of Early Music?
Often tacitly avoided, the question of the definition of early music has an impact on our practices. Since arriving at a common understanding seems idealistic, why not embrace the different meanings given to these words, and what they imply for their supporters and their activities?

Looking at the recent trends in online concerts, mixing dance with Baroque music or the slow gentrification of the Early Music revolution since the 70s, this session asks why we still need concert halls in the XXIth century, what happens on the stage, and where the artistic freedom of performers stands, on the large spectrum of Historically informed practices.
