The private sector is growing so incredibly in India, in every city you have industries for whom building a concert hall would be nothing financially. But they just don't do it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In Bombay, we have a fine concert hall. I think it is high time we built venues in Delhi and Calcutta, not only for western music, but also Indian music. It doesn't matter which party is in power; don't you think the capital of India should have a concert hall?
The people on the business side in the music business are kind of different from the theatre business. I think it's partly because there are different pressures on the industries.
People don't think music to be a reliable source of income or career, which I will agree, in a way, because Bollywood is a very risky place to be in.
The structural thinking I use in the concert hall is unnecessary to most film projects, and most film composers make better use of the enormous range of pop and other materials and techniques required of them than I probably would, faced with the same challenge.
The live concert industry has become corporate-ized.
It's called show business for a reason. The theater owners want to make money, and understandably so.
The public/private partnerships are taking various forms in India. It is individuals who are socially oriented are setting up schools. They're setting up colleges. They're setting up universities. They're setting up primary-education schools in the villages, particularly the villages their original families came from.
The bricks and mortar of the music business, they don't exist any longer.
When the private does well, there's revenue for the public sector.
I would love to do more private concerts.
