We've created a network that let's communities generate their own chamber music house parties. We've had a lot of success with young folks in the Boston area, and groupmuses are starting to pop up all over the country. It's an interesting new social role for the music--I thought you might be interested.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15244561147041418824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932752907198933265.post-50792210456010589802014-02-17T02:08:18.992-08:002014-02-17T02:08:18.992-08:00Hi Scott.
As you say, this is a complicated issue...Hi Scott.<br /><br />As you say, this is a complicated issue.<br /><br />My post about the Slate article sought to disprove the simplistic notion that classical music is dead (http://properdiscord.com/2014/01/24/mark-vanhoenacker-i-have-a-bone-to-pick-with-you/). All the time there's somebody writing it, somebody playing it and somebody listening to it, the music is alive, if not well.<br /><br />I also worked with Will Robin on a piece for the New Yorker concerning the long tradition of crisis in classical music, here: <br /><br />http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/culture/2014/01/stop-trying-to-kill-classical-music.html<br /><br />This gives some much-needed context to the notion that today's problems might somehow prove fatal.<br /><br />Finally, as you've expressed surprise or confusion at my tone, I'd like to draw your attention to this article, in which I explain why pronouncing classical music dead (or dying) is not helpful.<br /><br />http://properdiscord.com/2014/02/13/f-u-stats/<br /><br />No sane person is denying that there are challenges. To shout that the sky is falling, though, is not helping anybody.<br /><br />Much of the doom-mongering surrounds issues like changes in the demographic makeup of the population, which we can't realistically do anything about. This is a huge distraction from where the real work is, largely perpetuated by people who aren't really working in the field.<br /><br />In truth, the challenges we face aren't so unique to classical music, and the solutions aren't that groundbreaking either: we need to keep costs under control, communicate effectively about the products we offer, look after our existing customers, and be willing to try new things without losing sight of our core purpose.<br /><br />The details of how to pursue this are not tremendously sexy, and they don't lend themselves to flamboyant proclamations and hysterical headlines, but there are lots of us out there, getting this work done.<br /><br />I have never worked in an organisation in decline. Sales have been growing everywhere I've ever worked. Wherever this crisis is happening, it isn't happening to me.<br /><br />-AndyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932752907198933265.post-65985999206030118252014-01-28T20:42:16.532-08:002014-01-28T20:42:16.532-08:00I agree, Scott.

In those days, you could get a classical music collection for 50 cents a record, one a week, from grocery stores when they ran special promotions. Imagine doing that now! We always had Sebelius, Mozart and Bach in the background, and learned to love it. Not my kids. Sad. <br />mojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805737501130892636noreply@blogger.com
