Giving back: always important, especially when it aligns with your organisation's values. Coxswain Alliance sponsors a critical learning and development program with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra; the Fellows. This is about nurturing the talent of the future, building capability. Have a listen to how the seasoned players David and Matthew talk about mentoring young and talented players. It is a nuanced approach that offers multiple avenues for building capability. And Matthew's comment goes to the heart of it. It's not just about being a good player; it's also about being a good colleague. Isn't that the truth!
Next month our Fellows take centre-stage in The Splendour of the Baroque, performing alongside members of the Sydney Symphony and directed by acclaimed early music specialist Erin Helyard. As part of the Fellowship program, these young musicians receive mentorship from members of our Orchestra. Here, Principal Trumpet David Elton and Principal Emeritus Bassoon Matthew Wilkie talk about their role as mentors of the Fellowship program, revealing some of the many perks of the program and sharing some insights about this special concert.

really starts giving you an insight into the value of our INCLUDE project
Thank you to Will Chidlow for capturing OutSingCancer choir's INCLUDE event last week so well - if you want a flavour of the events we have been holding across the country, here you go! 🎶 These events, the connections and actions that come out of them would not be possible without Arts Council England funding the Making Music: INCLUDE programme. Thank you! https://lnkd.in/e-53Buid

Visiting a part of the world with a vastly different political system and culture was eye-opening. Besides singing, one of the most striking experiences was browsing Chinese web browsers and news sites and noticing the state propaganda around the city. The way current events were presented, often with a much more positive spin, was interesting. While I strongly oppose mass surveillance, I was surprised to see an unexpected benefit: the freedom cyclists had to leave their expensive bikes unattended without fear of theft. Although I believe this advantage doesn't outweigh the significant human rights concerns, it did offer me a glimpse into another perspective. Finally, seeing the Great Wall of China, which dates back to the 7th century BC, offered some timeless lessons. The sheer size and endurance of the wall showed me just how far civilizations will go to protect themselves, both physically and psychologically. The wall wasn’t just a physical barrier; it was also a psychological one, sending a message of strength and deterrence to potential invaders. It drove home what I had seen throughout Beijing - that sometimes the perception of power can be just as important as actual power. The wall also made me think about the downside of isolation. While it provided security, it also symbolised a desire to keep out external influences, which, over time, led to stagnation and, eventually, the wall falling into disrepair. This had a negative impact on the Chinese economy at several points in history, even contributing to the collapse of some empires. So, while barriers can protect, they can also limit growth and exchange—something that feels like a perfect analogy for my first year at Kings.
The Choir of King’s College London recently had the honour of performing at the 17th International China Chorus Festival in Beijing. 🌏🎶 Joining 16,000 singers from around the world, our choir performed three concerts, illustrated a masterclass on conducting led by Dr Joseph Fort, Music Director and Senior Lecturer in the Music Department, and participated in the Opening and Closing Ceremonies. Their repertoire included folk classics, British part-songs, and two Chinese folk songs, "Mo Li Hua" and "Kang Ding Love-song." These final pieces were particularly well-received, earning cheers and applause from the audiences. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eeaK-Q5H

The future is now
During a panel at SXSW Hans Schafer, SVP of Global Touring, and Jon Lieberberg of Baron Management discussed the growth of live music and how cultural shifts are expanding global audiences, particularly with Latin artists such as Kali Uchis, Bad Bunny and Los Bukis. "When Los Bukis reached a successful stadium tour, others came too, and now we see more Latin artists doing stadium tours and shows.” — Schafer, on the beginning of Latin acts doing US stadium shows for the first time in music history.
