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.

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?
