REMA EARLY MUSIC DAY
Every year on 21 March - on Johann Sebastian Bach's birthday and the first day of spring - a variety of events are offered by participants across the globe, all celebrating the many faces of Early Music. Concerts, masterclasses, videos... anyone can add their own contribution, making Early Music Day a meeting place for audiences and professionals!
A global, participative celebration of Early Music
The goal of early music day is to create a living event for the early music community in the broadest sense: performance, education, research, experiences... Each year, hundreds of early music lovers take part in the celebration by organising concerts, events, and happenings, taking place simultaneously all over the world.
An online event
Early Music Day is an important online event as well, with countless online contributions and concerts being live streamed, reaching audiences worldwide.
Partnership and media
A strong partnership with the media is essential to the impact and visibility of Early Music Day. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has been a partner of the event since its first edition in 2013. Partnerships between REMA members/other organisers involved in the project and local, regional and national media in each country complement the European aspect.

Lasting from 1 to 4 days, they usually take place at the invitation of a member and provide a comprehensive overview of the host’s activities and areas of expertise. Activities include panels, workshops, keynotes, networking opportunities, concerts and project presentations.

REMA REMArkable
REMARKABLE: YOUNG PROFESSIONALS IN EARLY MUSIC HELP THE NEXT GENERATION!
Young professionals in Early Music are facing new challenges, as they enter the sector looking for work opportunities, meeting potential business partners and developing their activity. The ever-shifting global context, shaped by a pandemic and an ongoing energy crisis, is impacting the way we work, interact with each other, enjoy or produce music. REMArkable addresses the urgent need to support the newest professionals in the sector, making them feel welcome and equip them with the right tools to navigate the field.
In order to enhance the professional integration of the next early music generation, REMA’s support scheme for young professionals (ensembles, programmers, researchers) helps them build their capacities and help them launch their activities on the international scene.
REMArkable will take place over three years, with each year dedicated to a specific branch of early music professionals. In 2024, REMArkable will be open to young early music researchers. Registration is open until 6 April. For more information, we invite you to contact the REMA team at info@rema-eemn.net
