Publication Details & Subscriptions

EMR appears six times a year (February, April, June, August, October, December). These months will include a concert diary, which will be published independently in the other six months of the year (except January).

UK subscribers receive the diary as part of their subscription. Foreign subscribers are charged on the assumption that they do not receive the diary, but there is an option to receive it if you pay more to cover the postage.

The EMR diary includes

1. Free basic listings - this will be a short listing without details of soloists/programmes/ticket prices etc
2. Paid entries, giving much fuller information including programme, ticket prices etc. These cost £12
3. Display advertisements, with rates dependent on the amount of setting involved, but approximately: Full page £100, 1/2 page £50, 1/4 page £25.

All listings and advertisements are handled by Helen Shabetai, who can be contacted on phone 01707 889893, fax 01707 322743, by email to Helen.Shabetai@ntlworld.com or by post: 118 Handside Lane, Welwyn Garden City, AL8 6SZ. Cheques for listings and advertisements should payable to 'The Early Music Company Ltd.' and sent to Helen. Listings should ideally be sent by email to ensure we include all the information accurately! The listings will be circulated by the first of each month (blizzards and postal strikes permitting), and all information and advertising should be with Helen by the 7th of the month preceding publication.

If you wish to take out a regular display advertisement, please speak to Helen about discounted rates. We are particularly interested to receive news from groups who will be touring not only round Britain but also abroad. Many of our readers are based abroad and tell us how useful it is to know what is going on here, and publishing details of your foreign tours informs your followers back at home about the breadth of your work as well as advertises the concerts to local readers.

If you have not previously advertised in Early Music Review please ask Helen to send you a complimentary copy of the magazine. We hope our regular advertisers will also become subscribers.

We will continue to insert leaflets: rates by negotiation, but roughly £50 for a single A5 or A4 sheet.
