Network of the Houses and Museums of European Musicians
Le Dimore del Quartetto, together with about thirty other members, including houses, museums and institutions, officially joined the Network of the Houses and Museums of European Musicians (HMMM), promoted by the Centre Européen de Musique.
On Sunday, April 3rd 2022 the city of Bougival became the pan-European capital of music. Indeed, the town where Pauline and Louis Viardot, Georges Bizet and Ivan Tourgueniev lived, is the location choosen for the signing of the Agreement of the Houses and Museums of European Musicians.
“The Europe of Musicians exists because music has shaped Europe! It is a question of highlighting a feeling of belonging to the European soil, a feeling that has been carried by great musicians for centuries. With this network, we want to broaden European and extra-European connections. Music must play this role as a connector, but also a diplomatic role, as a bridge between cultures and a dialogue between disciplines”
Jorge Chaminé, president and founder of the Centre Européen de Musique
THE MAIN OBJECTIVES OF THE NETWORK INCLUDE:
- Promoting a sense of belonging to the common culture and cultural heritage of Europe by enhancing the artistic work and legacy of Europe’s illustrious musicians.
- The organisation of cultural and artistic activities focused on the mobility of young musicians, academic exchanges and the work of researchers or doctoral students.
- The creation of thematic seasons shared by the network of Houses and Museums with the capacity to organise musical events.
- Development of artists’ residencies.
- Digitisation of archive material, scores, letter writing material, etc.
- Dialogue with digital technology and all current techniques.
- The creation of dialogues between music, arts, and sciences.
- The expansion of extra-European connections where music can play a diplomatic role but also a bridge between different cultures.
- Carrying out cooperation projects with the help of European funds.
- Attracting new audiences through educational work to be developed between the partners.
- The realisation of promotion, mediation, awareness, and inclusion actions for all audiences.
