REMA, the European Early Music Network, was created in Ambronay, in France, in 2000. REMA now boasts a membership of around sixty Early Music organisations in 21 countries. The network’s head office is based in Lyon, France.
REMA has a dual objective: to promote Early Music and to help raise its profile in Europe. Its role is also to defend Early Music and the interests of Early Music programme organisers.
The network enjoys a wide, diverse and high-quality membership.
It provides an opportunity for its members to exchange expertise and ideas and discuss their projects.
REMA’s members meet three or four times a year to discuss topics that are directly related to the key interests of their organisations. A newsletter is sent to members four times a year, to keep them informed about projects run by their partners and to maintain contact with the membership between meetings.
Some examples of what REMA does:
* Every two years, REMA organises a European showcase for young talent in Early Music.
* REMA participates in the Musicora trade fair, providing its members with an opportunity to meet music industry professionals at the Carrousel du Louvre.
* REMA organises meetings and events with other European cultural platforms, enabling its members to form new networks and gain new contacts, as well as discuss current topics of interest.
* Each year, REMA publishes a study on Early Music audiences in Europe.
REMA is a highly active network that is undergoing significant expansion. It gains an average of 10 to 12 new members each year.
