In a world marked by tense geopolitical circumstances, what artistic and institutional utopias can orchestras bring into being? The power of collective music-making seems more necessary than ever in confronting the dangers of identity-based withdrawal and fostering the human polyphony that the world so urgently needs. Drawing on major symphony orchestras in residence at or invited to the Festival, this roundtable highlights the ambitious artistic and civic projects undertaken by the London Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestre des Jeunes de la Méditerranée and the Klangforum Wien’s ‘Tower of Babel’ programme.
WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF: Peter Paul Kainrath (general director of Klangforum Wien), Rebecca Ranson (manager at the London Symphony Orchestra Discovery) and Pauline Chaigne (director of the Orchestre des Jeunes de la Méditerranée)
