CEMPER — Centre for Music and Performing Arts Heritage in Flanders, Belgium — advises, supports, and guides anyone who encounters heritage of music and/or performing arts: from amateurs to professionals, hobbyists to academics, and heirs to collectors. Music and the performing arts contribute to the rich culture that has been a hallmark of Flanders and Brussels both historically and today. CEMPER aims to preserve and pass on the traces of that culture. To give it a future because we’re convinced that this heritage is valuable: it shapes the memory of music and the performing arts and contributes to the artistic and cultural diversity of today’s society. Within the heritage of music and performing arts, we encounter a lot of (endangered) crafters – f.e. instrument making, puppet making, etc. - which we try to support in their safeguarding trajectories.
