eeemerging, Emerging European Ensembles Project

The term ‘early music’ refers to classical music written before 1800 and is a quintessential European artform of international significance – bringing all European countries, and its peoples, together with one common musical heritage, and a common language.

The teaching, and training, of early music specialists has been enthusiastically taken up by conservatoires, academies and universities from across the union creating an abundance of highly trained musicians working as soloists, orchestral players, teachers and administrators. The EEE programme was created to support the highest quality ‘emerging’ individuals striving to establish their musical careers by creating an ensemble – usually of 6/8 individuals – focusing on very specific areas of repertory (medieval/renaissance/baroque) recognising that the educational institutions do not offer ensemble training, do not offer the time needed to develop the diverse professional skills required to make a successful living, and that musicians need time to understand the highly competitive market place in which they find themselves.The training offered to musicians differs from country to country and there are particular issues in Eastern Europe where early music instruments are difficult to access, and the institutions/teachers/performance opportunities are themselves less widespread. The EEE project have endeavoured to address these issues through the partnership (which includes Universities/festivals/conservatories drawn from Latvia to France) by offering opportunities for ensembles to travel, to meet new friends, share contacts and information and through training in professional development: marketing, communications, social media, audience development as well as offered bespoke coaching and support. Uniquely EEE has also offered these ensembles the opportunity to develop their careers – formalising, experimenting, developing, maturing their ensemble – and giving the ensembles the chance to share that information with each other. Such knowledge transfer is vital to enable each ensemble to enter the European market with confidence, and as the political context in which ensembles are working continues to challenge, so the ensembles learn about the European ideal – and how music can speak to peoples across political and social boundaries.

The innovative dimension of the project

The EEE project facilitated the digital transformation of the ensembles, and partnership, through a number of innovative activities. The digital strategy has become a vital tool with which to communicate with the general audience and the professional sector. The first main example is the development of the capacity building in the eee ensembles’ digital strategy. (Source: EC)
