I have written about this at some length and will continue to do so,
but the early music scene in the US really caters to
sit-down-and-shut-up audiences who are encouraged to participate in
some weird fan worship culture.
That's a worldwide phenomenon it seems, sadly.
The problem is the larger the ensemble, the bigger the venue must be to
cover modern capitalist costs.
As we all might have heard: the big brass doesn't even pay food and
lodging for their servants and family as in ancient times.
I am of the opinion that early music will die out with the rapidly
ageing baby-boom generation unless more of an effort is made on the
part of performers to connect with people of all ages and backgrounds
and encourage informal ensemble playing.
This is highly needed I guess... Early Music Jazz aka "divisions"
probably made up most of the music life in the Renaissance.
Speaking of which: I would like to know what you think of dissonances
and how were dissonances regarded in the Renaissance when they happened
in improvisational context.

Happy New Year to all who are on the European calendar.
Here's one question - is there any noticeable Early Music life going on
in your neighborhood, besides the 19th/20th century concert context
(which I always find a bit awkward)?
Ever heard of a bar where there are Early Music jam sessions?
Have you ever seen Early music picknicks in the park or in the woods?
Do you play table music at your own private dinner parties?
