Music is about communication, and the chemistry between an audience and the orchestra is absolutely essential; the performance does not exist in a bubble.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Music is not simply an orchestration of something, but it's also not something as trivial as honesty.
Music is a performance and needs the audience.
We do play to our audience. It's very important. You can't create music in a vacuum.
Playing in an orchestra is where I learned the most about music.
The game is if the orchestra can hear each other, they play better. If they play better and there's a tangible feeling between the orchestra and the audience, if they feel each other, the audience responds and the orchestra feels it.
I love working with an orchestra, but there are many ways to make music.
The role of an orchestra in the 21st century isn't just playing, it's about developing future audiences and performers.
If a composer is to reach his audience emotionally - and surely that's what theatre music is all about - he must reach the people through sounds they can relate to.
Music is a very personal and emotional form of communication.
Music is about the performance.
