Cooperative Ensembles

For a workshop on cooperative ensembles (1770–1890), taking place on 12/13 September 2025 at the Université de Genève, we are calling for short presentations followed by open discussions covering topics such as governance, administration, financial management, inclusion/exclusion of members, their social position, rehearsal practices, artistic leadership, or stage plans. Participants are invited to present source material such as minutes of meetings, statutes, reports on cooperative decision-making processes, annotated sheet music, or images of ensembles, which will form the basis for discussions.
