What if we invested the same resources on "excellence in workplace emotional regulation and trust" as we do on "excellence from the stage"... I have developed a beta set of training workshops for orchestras on this and your input is the next step. If you'd like to share your thoughts on what's most needed (and why!) please let me know, we can jump on a Zoom. If you work or play in any part of the classical music sector, your insight would be invaluable.

"In concert halls, a familiar scenario unfolds with remarkable consistency: some of the audience will approach a classical concert with trepidation. They often mention the same things, “I’m not sure if I’m listening correctly,” or, “I read the program notes but I’m not sure if I could detect the intricacies mentioned in the notes.” I hear this a lot from patrons. There is a desire to follow perceived rules, to be correct and proper, and assume that program notes are the key to enlightenment and acceptance. However, people learn and listen differently so there is always a good percentage of people who feel a disconnect to a concert. Program notes, pre-concert talks, and educational videos cater to some, but certainly aren’t for everyone. The fact that so many people seek rules to attend a concert is restricting the very art that should be freeing them. There is no right or wrong way to experience a concert. Despite this, the desire for self-imposed rules persists, creating an environment where newcomers often feel anxious or as though they are missing something essential or going about the whole experience wrong. Ironically, it was during a prison concert this past November that I experienced the freedom that many concertgoers might lack"....READ MORE: #prisonmusic #prisonreform #concerts #programnotes #nowronganswers #yourexperience #concert #presconcertlecture #rules #patrons #prison #listening #agency #ownership #involved #classical #orchestral #orchestra #symphony Arts Capacity Wichita Symphony Orchestra

When planning an🌳outdoor event, it's easy to focus on practical details like avoiding sinking into the grass with your 👠high heels, but have you really considered the logistics of hiring live musicians? It’s not just about finding the perfect location. Consider these key factors: 👫🏻 How many guests will attend? 🏰 What is the size of the space? ⚡Are there adequate electrical hookups available? 🔌Will musicians need to bring extension cords? These aspects might seem minor, but they are essential for a smooth outdoor event. If electrical setup is a concern, an 🎻 acoustic ensemble could be a more fitting solution. At LPE, we provide a range of musical options to suit your event, whether it's a grand outdoor💍wedding needing full electrical support or a more intimate party where acoustic instruments shine. 🎶 From classical ensembles and lively bands to jazz trios and more, we have the right option for every occasion and venue. https://lnkd.in/gt42GTVT 📷 lottie.lillian #LouisPettinelli #LouisPettinelliEntertainment #LPE #LPEEvents #LiveBands #LiveMusic #TravelingBands #Weddings #Wedding #WeddingMusic #PartyBands #Musicians #Music #Ensembles #MusicalBookingAgency #OutdoorEvents #Acoustic

For orchestra directors and concert planners. I've been doing some research. I don't have an enormous amount of data to go on, but, of the concert programmes I've managed to get hold of, which have included "Serenata" (the first movement of my Sinfonietta No.1 ("Silver")), more than 78% have used this piece as their concert opener. Some have included "Serenata" as a stand-alone work, some have paired it with the second movement, most have included the whole Sinfonietta. But so many have made it the first thing their audience hears. That tells me one of two things:- (a) they can't think where else to put it, or (b) it makes a great concert opener I know which I think! I'll put some links in the comments below for those not aware of the work. Check it out if you're looking for the ideal way to start your concert! #orchestra #youngaudience #classicalmusic

🚨 New case alert: Film Symphony Orchestra is about the #internationalisation of a Spanish-based professional symphonic orchestra with more than eighty musicians that exclusively offer cinema music concerts. 🇪🇸 Since its creation FSO had a lot of success in the Spanish territory and its founder is considering internationalizing its activity. The case looks at the different options available and the territories possible in the context of the music industry rules. 💡 Pankaj Ghemawat framework is used and the #globalisation of #culture is discussed in classroom. Will be used in my elective MB-555 Global Leadership and Management at Berklee Valencia this academic year.

Don’t underestimate the careful planning and creativity when crafting meaningful classical music events for kids! Soprano Olivia Boen’s reflections help reveal the planning that makes these children’s outreach initiatives by the LSO so impactful. 1. Community First: Focused on serving, not just audience growth. 2. Ready to Engage: Kids learn about the music beforehand, making them active participants. 3. Kid-Friendly Content: Tailored to young attention spans with plenty of clever interactive moments. 4. Creative Themes: Uses relatable metaphors like puzzles and mechanics to explain music. 5. Live Composer Interaction: Kids meet the minds behind the music, adding a layer of excitement. 6. Inclusivity: Ensuring every child feels welcomed in the grand concert halls. 7. Educational Richness: Beyond listening, these programs teach musical fundamentals in fun ways. 8. Beyond Performance: Musicians engage directly, enhancing the connection. Engaging kids around music takes much careful planning, and is one of the most rewarding ways to build connection and community around classical music. #MusicEducation #CommunityEngagement #LSO #ClassicalMusic #OutreachPrograms 🎵👧👦
