Thank you for your New Year's greeting, Tristan.
Much as I would wish the US early music scene to be otherwise,
it is
for the most part not what might be characterized as informal,
inviting
nor inclusive. While there are a few soloists and ensembles
attempting
to perform in less traditional venues, the attempts are not
really
successful. Ronn McFarlane did in fact play in a bar in
Cleveland
once. I had lunch with him the following day and he reported
that
there were 10 people in attendance.
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. There are a few exceptions,
and
Mignarda is definitely among the exceptions. We make it a
point to
seek out non-traditional audiences, and we have deliberately
been
performing in a variety of smaller venues, restaurants, coffee
shops,
libraries and in house concert settings for most of our 15
years as a
duo. We also perform in churches and the usual larger venues,
but we
like having contact with our audiences.
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. In the coming year,
we will
be initiating a series of local informal gatherings where
amateurs
and
professionals can connect and share a love of making ensemble
music.
Wish us luck.

Subject: [LUTE] Early Music life
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?
