The great Claudio Abbado in rehearsal with the Berliner Philharmoniker on the differences between one conductor and another, the great Herbert von Karajan and the way the PEOPLE/the orchestra/the organisation are reacting to the different way of interpretation of the well-known notes. This is in essences, the differences in how we humans do music (non-optimality expressive) and the way algorithms do it. Is your organisation an organisation of robots or humans?!? https://lnkd.in/d-uqxNGY

200 years ago today, on 7 May 1824 in Vienna, Ludwig van Beethoven conducted the premiere of his 9th Symphony. It was therefore fitting today that we ended a two day workshop in #Tällberg by listening and watching a recording of a glorious performance at the Royal Albert Hall from the BBC Proms in 2012, with the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra and Daniel Barenboim. The early 1820s were a time of great upheavals and shifts, just like the 2020s. Here are some questions for us to reflect on now: 🎼 Which of today’s artistic creations will or should be celebrated in May 2224? 🎒 Of all the ideas, ideals and solutions that we hold dear today, which should we absolutely carry with us into the future… 🗑️ …and which should we leave behind or throw away? 🌏 And of course, what will the world - and the planet - look like in 200 years?

It's rare to be able to get a look at the inside workings of a world-class orchestra. Hong Kong Philharmonic has been reaching ever greater heights, under the baton of Jaap van Zweden and its new conductor, Tarmo Peltokoski, who is all of 24 years old. Behind their success on stage is a complex business organization, which has been headed since 2019 by Benedikt Fohr. In this article for the AmCham HK e-Magazine, he takes us inside what it was like to hold the orchestra together during Covid-19 and its aftermath. Not easy, are the first words that come to mind. https://lnkd.in/gENuuHYZ

Nightlife Articles #40: Why Aren’t Clubs Recognised as ‘National Portfolio Organisations’ like Galleries, Museums and Theatres The time has come to question the outdated cultural hierarchy that places classical arts above contemporary ones. The contribution of clubs to our society is clear—they are hubs of creativity, diversity, and economic activity. Clubs or venues like Fabric, SubClub, Ministry of Sound, and Printworks deserve to be celebrated, protected, and funded in the same way that opera houses and theatres are. Let’s not wait until it’s too late to recognise their value. It’s time to give clubs the support they need to continue shaping the culture of tomorrow. https://buff.ly/3Uahfke
