We are delighted to announce the launch of our new web platform mySCENA.org beta.

There are a number of issues and bugs with the platform that we are aware of and actively fixing. Several have arisen due to complications with making our web platform fully bilingual, others are due to the sheer amount of archival material transferred over to the new platform.

It takes time to sort through a twenty-year-old archive, including giving credit to our valued contributors and volunteer translators. Over the summer, a dedicated team of interns will make entire back issues of La Scena Musicale available in HTML for the first time. Rest assured that any archival material will eventually find its way to the right place and be attributed to the right people.

Below are a list of known issues that may adversely impact your experience of mySCENA. If you notice an issue not mentioned on the list, we would greatly appreciate your feedback in the form below. In the spirit of full transparency, we will update this post periodically. We appreciate your patience and understanding throughout this transition period.
