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).

What’s the scope of early music? This unanswerable question impacts our practices and our approaches to the sector.
