In a branch of music where research plays such a central role, how can there be such a disconnection between research and performance? How can we create cooperation between both fields? These themes, according to Rebekah Ahrendt, are central in "EarlyMuse", a research action funded by the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST). Listen to her describe her ideal world in this final episode of the 4th season of the Early Music Podcast! CREDITSguest Rebekah Ahrendt, Utrecht University interview & editing Darina Abloginaproduction REMAdesign Doretta RinaldimusicString Quartet No. 7 in F Major, Op. 59 No. 1, "Razumovsky": III.

How early music can be specific in its approach to new audiences? How are conservatoires tackling this issue? Isaac Alonso de Molina shares his views on the need for conservatoires to teach audience development, as the first step to develop the artists' skills to engage with society, and a focal point of the European Association of Conservatoires' Early Music working group discussions. CREDITSguest Isaac Alonso de Molina, Koninklijk Conservatorium Den Haag interview & editing Darina Abloginaproduction REMAdesign Doretta RinaldimusicAve verum corpus, O sacrum conviviumperformed by La Academia de los Nocturnos and Ensemble La Danserye2023

What’s the situation of inclusion in the Early Music sector? In this episode, countertenor Reginald Mobley puts the issues of race, gender, and more generally, identity under the spotlight. He talks about the challenges and discrimination he faced as an Afro-American singer, and opens our eyes to the progress that still needs to be made to make the sector more inclusive.   CREDITSguest Reginald Mobley, countertenorinterview & editing Darina Abloginaproduction REMAdesign Doretta RinaldimusicMusic for a while, Henry Purcellperformed by Reginald Mobley and Brandon Acker2022The White Rose, Florence Beatrice Priceperformed by Reginald Mobley and AgaveAmerican Orignals: A New World, A New Canon, Acis 2021

What’s the current situation of recordings in Early Music? How can we innovate in a sector that has undergone such change in recent years? Listen to Hannelore Guittet’s view on the topic: starting as co-founder of recording label NomadMusic, she had to adapt to drastic changes in the recording industry and created interactive application NomadPlay. She shares some of her processes and reflects on the perks of this creative mindset!CREDITSguest Hannelore Guittet, NomadPlayinterview & editing Darina Abloginaproduction REMAdesign Doretta RinaldimusicPartita No.1 in B-flat major, BWV 825, Johann Sebastian Bachperformed by Jean-Luc HoIntégrale des Partitas pour clavecin, NoMadMusic 2018

In this episode, Tiago Simas Freire discusses how research is also a means of connecting the past with present emotions. More than historically informed, Early Music can be culturally informed and resonate with our own experiences. And that’s the first step for successful research projects that will breach the market! CREDITSguest Tiago Simas Freire, "Per esercitarsi nella dispositione di gorgia" (CNSMDL, Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, HEM Geneva)interview & editing Darina Abloginaproduction REMAdesign Doretta RinaldimusicAd Tenebras - Jerusalem surge - Responsório II, Dizidme qual de los dos, Requiem aeternam - Graduale - Anonyme, Zente Pleto - Vilancico Negro a2 & a6 performed by Capella Sanctae Crucis and Tiago Simas FreireAd Tenebras, Artway Records / University of Coimbra 2023
