Classic Music Somehow Changed, And It Changed

I Like This Idea Of Identification With The Local Team. I Think It's Great. That's What An Orchestra Should Be. It's An Orchestra For Its Hometown, And It Serves The People.

Our Audience, It Has Been A More Difficult Process For Classical Music Audiences Around The World, And I'm Not Completely Certain Why.

I Think Truth As An Idea Should Be Left To The Philosophers And Perhaps Religious Leaders And Politicians, And Professional People Who Deal With That Idea.

I Think We Still Do Have A Pr Problem In The Sense That These Institutions Portray Themselves Quite Often As A Museum Without The Contemporary Wing. For A Young Cutting-edge Person, Why Would You Get Into That Sort Of Business, Which Is Very Clearly Geared Towards Dead Or Almost Dead People?

The Royal Festival Hall In London Is Nice; People Hang Out There. I Think This Inviting, Non-exclusive Character Is Very Important.
