European Keyboard Heritage Network
A European hub for living sound heritage
Help build a European platform bringing together all stakeholders involved in the living sound heritage of period keyboard instruments,
linking collections, historic sites, craftsmanship, performance, and heritage communities.
Read all about our programme to help restore Europe’s musical sound to its places, its communities, and its future. This is about ensuring that this shared heritage remains alive, audible, and meaningful for generations to come.
