Objective:

"BMH - Bridging Musical Heritage” is a new project that creatively promotes and spreads collections from European musical heritage. The project consolidates connections steadily weaved over the last 10 years between research and historical performance practice centres in Portugal, Spain and France, aiming to broaden their respective spectrum of action and influence. Through the circulation of musicians, by making recovered scores from Santa Cruz monastery in Coimbra (Portugal) easily accessible, by producing digital free-view content, and by holding multiple and diverse pedagogical actions, “Bridging Musical Heritage” will offer new perspectives on early music heritage and promote the transnational exchange of musicians and patrimony within Europe. This will have a lasting impact on present and future generations by catalyzing interest and curiosity towards Europe's shared culture and musical heritage, while simultaneously making them widely and readily accessible.
