The National Early Music Association of the UK has existed since
1981 to bring together all concerned with early music and to forge
links with other early music organisations in the UK and around the
world. NEMA also acts to represent musicians in the early music
field to outside bodies, when required.

For just £11 per year, Members of NEMA will have access to an online
database with all the information previously printed in the
yearbook. It might be possible to deliver this information in
printed form if sufficient requests are received. If you’d
prefer this please inform the Administrator. Members also receive
Early Music Performer, Nema's magazine which brings the most
important new scholarship to practising early musicians, and keeps
its readers up to date with the latest news from the world of
historically informed performance.
NEMA is planning conferences on a variety of subjects following the
very successful Conference on Singing Practice 1500 to 1900 held at
the University of York with the help of Jonathan Wainwright and John
Potter in 2009. You may access papers from this conference by means
of this link Survey Report
PDF.
The annual NEMA day brings together members for a practical
workshop, lecture and professional concert. Whatever your interest
in early music - amateur or professional, scholar or performer,
listener, instrument maker or CD buyer - you should join Nema. Click

The NEMA Early Music Database is the essential resource for the
early music enthusiast. There is a Directory section giving sources
of information, societies, music publishers, providers of performing
material, concert promoters and artists' agents, record companies,
early music fairs and courses, including summer schools. It has a
Buyers' Guide to some 600 makers of early musical instrument
worldwide, giving details of instrument types offered for sale. The
Register section gives names and addresses of over 400 individuals,
including details of their instruments and interests.
It costs nothing to have your details included in the database,
whether or not you are a member of NEMA. Please fill in the on-line
form for your entry in the Register, or in the Directory or Buyers' Guide,
or both, or request a form from the Administrator.
