About

• The Associazione Musicale Estense was founded in 2000. Its principal aim is to enhance the knowledge and the value of the ancient and baroque musical heritage, in particular as far as the territories that belonged to the Este family are concerned.
  Among the members of the Association are ancient music enthusiasts, people who work in the music, communication, administration, finance and law fields. They all contibute on a volountary basis.
  The association’s goals include:

  • Promote knowledge and spread of early, baroque and classic music, played both with ancient instruments or copies;
  • Enhance the musical heritage of the Este period.
  • Stimulate new musical productions, based on documentary and executive research concerning the Este period.
  • Cooperate with Italian and European institutions working in the same field.
  • Re-discover the artistic and cultural value of historical buildings and places in Modena and its surroundings, as they are not mere containers but constitute important places for cultural creation.
  • Focus on the relationship between the place in which music is played, in particular as far as its acoustics and purpose of use are concerned. Focus on the music itself, too, in order to make consistent musical choices that are able to specifically enhance the chosen venue.
  • Organise educational activities aimed at raising awareness towards early music among youngsters and children.
  • Guarantee high standard of quality in such activities as research, education and popularization of early music, through conferences held by experts and artists, lectures, seminars, concerts as well as recording and editorial productions.
