Dear Dana and Peter,
1/ Not all performers were from TCM. Most of them probably was paid (maybe
apart from the students).
2/ There are some players around who I am sure would be very keen on
playing. It could be just an instrument presentation.
3/ I am not criticizing organizers (no matter how it may sound). On the
contrary I have to say that the venue was perfectly organised and there was
a great atmospher there, but then I just had this feeling of pitty that we
were not better represented there. It was so nice to meet David van Edwards
at LS stand, so I thought it would be nice as well to meet other makers,
players, funs, see what they work on, talk to them, compare instruments etc.
The place is really perfect for this kind of event.
The whole early music world shrank a little bit these days and during the
time of recession (with financial cuts seen almost everywhere) instruments
less popular suffer most I think.

My understanding is that the exhibition organisers' policy is, as far
as possible, to use performers from Trinity College of Music, where the
exhibition is hosted. This year's programme seems to bear that out.
Jacob Heringman, who has played there before, is the lute professor at
TCM.

well, who is to give the master class(s)? who will play the
recital?
Somene with skill and a recognizable name; perhaos none were
available on
those dates; perhaps the organizers took a theme that didnt
encourage such
activitys. Venue has to be rented and payed for, the artist expect
something in the envelope, and if travel is involved that fattens
the
envelope and perhaps adds an expectation of accomodation; if only on
some
friendly livingroom floor.
These are questions to put to the organizer(s), perhaps thru (for
Greenwich) the LS, or from someone who has volunteered and is on the
'inside'.
