MERITA – where chamber Music, cultural hERItage and TAlent meet – is a European platform promoting the circulation of emerging chamber music ensembles by connecting chamber music, cultural heritage and audiences in innovative ways. Coordinated by Le Dimore del Quartetto and bringing together 17 cultural organisations from across Europe, MERITA was co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.
MERITA supported young ensembles through international mobility, artistic residencies, training and career development, while bringing new life to underused heritage sites and reconnecting communities through music. The platform also placed sustainability at its core, offering training for artists and tools such as the MERITA CO₂ Calculator for concert organisers.
Cadenza's role
As a MERITA Platform Member, Cadenza Arts Management took part in the overall management of the project and in the transnational project meetings, and organised nine outreach and special concerts with the platform’s ensembles.
