S-EEEMERGING

Emerging European Ensembles

The “EEEmerging” (Emerging European Ensembles) programme grew to become “EEEmerging+” and is now “Sustainable-EEEMERGING” (S-EEE), continuing to unite its projects & partners across Europe, to support Early Music Ensembles.

This European Project is “Sustainable” in all of the meanings of this term/concept, from all sides, from starts to finishes.

Sustainable Projects are first and foremost projects that can actually arise and develop, so Sustainable-EEEmerging encourages new projects to be created, and nourishes their development by helping ensembles acquire and develop skills, build and strengthen relationships (with other artists, repertoires, audiences, places and institutions).

Acting for every actor involved, “Sustainable-EEEmerging” acts on all levels of Sustainability: economical, ecological, ethical,… Sustainable projects for sustainable careers must preserve the life of the environment, the vitality of cultures and places, as well as those of the artists: with projects viable, for the living of the artists (their finances and their well-being).

 

“Sustainable-EEEmerging” advocates and acts, thus, for renewing the cultural eco-system, especially for Early Music. Building anew something that can last in the cultural world is akin to the act of re-interpreting ancient music: giving it the vitality it always had, so that it can keep on giving it.

About the Creative Europe programme

Creative Europe is the European Commission’s framework programme for support to the culture and audiovisual sectors. Following on from the previous Culture Programme and MEDIA programme, Creative Europe, with a budget of €1.46 billion (9% higher than its predecessors), will support Europe’s cultural and creative sectors.
Sustainable-EEEMERGING is supported by the Creative Europe programme.

The Riga Early Music Centre is one of nine European partners collaborating on the scheme: the Ambronay Cultural Encounter Centre (France), who are project leaders; the Athens Conservatoire (Greece); Helsinki Baroque Orchestra (Finland), Academia De Musica de Espinho (Spain), Pro Progressione (Hungary), AllĪmprovviso festival (Portugal), Cencentus Maravie (Czech Republic), The Green room (France), Internationale Handel-Festspiele Gottingen (Germany), Udruga festival Kvarner (Croatia), GhislieriMusica (Italy), Festival de Torroella de Montgri (Spain and the Riga Early Music Centre (Latvia).

The aims of S-EEEMERGING are:

  • to identify and select talented young ensembles and to develop their international career (with residencies, concerts, training and promotion)
  • to foster the artists’ drive towards innovation (by employing new technologies, innovative solutions for audience development and new forms of performance)
  • to nurture and encourage the expansion of a community of artists, partners, professionals and audiences.
