I like everything about this story that I first read through Arts Journal. There is an orchestra in British Columbia that won’t “die”. When all of its chips are stacked against it, the directors still see light. Call it bliss, call it ignorance, but its everything I wish things were. Not just about classical music, but everything.
It’s no secret, orchestras aren’t as popular as they once were – but with new music comes new audiences, and new ways of interacting and growing.
I’ve worked with bands for years that throw in the towel after an unsuccessful tour or a bad show. Here we have not just a band, but an entire orchestra. It’s currently $250,000 in dept, and they still claim they will find a way to work out. I think they will too, because half of the game is the mentality behind it.
So what do you think – is this orchestra crazy to keep on going? Or do you stand behind their thoughts and hope?
