Still time to sign up for the NEMA conference in a couple of weeks, all welcome – amateurs, professionals, teachers, singers…
20-21 October 2018, Brighton
This international conference will be run jointly by the National Early Music Association and the Brighton Early Music Festival. It will be the first in a series, each timed around two years apart. The 2nd and 3rd (possibly with different co-sponsors) are likely to be “Vocal Sound and Style 1650-1830” and “Vocal Sound and Style 1830-1920”. All would share common objectives, which are: (1) to generate fresh research on each period, (2) to stimulate innovative approaches to informed performance practice based on the research, and (3) to encourage the same training for both professional and amateur vocalists as that given to players of period instruments.
