PERFORMANCE

Sample of Interview by Tom Martin, read more here, : “I hear, for example, people say “I don’t like classical music,” but at the same time, they spend two hours every day playing video games where there is classical music, so they listen to classical music all the time. Or they’re gonna watch a movie. Go to the last Jurassic Park and it’s a lot of classical music. And actually, they do love classical music. But because of that naming and classification, they think that they do not like some things that they do like actually because it came in different art forms. So I really think that it’s also really important for us, as an orchestra in America, to be more open to collaborate with other artists. Like, for example, Devine Carama played with the Lexington Philharmonic, which was fantastic, and I hope we can develop collaborations with different genres like hip-hop, jazz, but also with ballet dancers, contemporary dance, and with poetry. You know, there are so many things to be done in order to be more accurate with what people like.”
