Sustainable Careers in Early Music (SURVEY!)

This questionnaire is conducted within the framework of the EU-funded S-EEEmerging project coordinated by the CCR Ambronay with the support from the University of Coimbra, Portugal.

2026.06.12

This survey aims to explore the professional realities, challenges and aspirations of mid-career musicians in the field of Early Music and Historically Informed Performance (HIP) practices. In this context, HIP is understood as a broad field covering repertoires from the Middle Ages to the Romantic period, up to the early decades of the twentieth century.

 

While the focus is on mid-career musicians, we encourage artists at all career stages to share their perspectives, as your input will help us better understand the broader professional landscape.

 

🤖 As a thank you for taking part, survey participants will receive exclusive access to two online workshops with the AI consultant and music-sector expert Claire Lerondeau ⚠️ Please send an email to community-manager@ambronay.org to get access to those sessions once you finish filling in the survey 🙏
