For most of the visitors to this site, you will not see any apparent differences except for perhaps a speed increase in the way the pages are served to you. HOWEVER, where it will affect others are those who have linked to this site using its “http://www.MusiqueAncienne.org“ domain name. This domain will still re-direct you to this site, HOWEVER, the correct link to the site should be corrected to reflect the correct new server domain name: “http://www.EarlyMusicNews.org“.

If you have added us to your weblinks pages, please review the website address and correct these changes if necessary.  

NOTE: In the meantime, you may find that there may be fewer articles appearing on this site in the next few days as we prepare behind the scene for the upgrade. We should resume with our usual number of articles in the next 7-8 days. You may be interested in reviewing the workshop calendar dates and links, or, even browsing through our past articles.

With many thanks for your patience,
