10 years ago277 views
An October 21 symposium at the Peabody Institute brought together national leaders in the music world to discuss the trends shaping the industry and the important role conservatories play in the future of classical music.
“It is absolutely critical for our students, for Peabody, and for all who love classical music that we take time to examine the broader societal and musical trends shaping our world, and how we can best prepare our students for a constantly changing, dynamic landscape,” said Fred Bronstein, dean of the Peabody Institute. “Peabody’s longevity, remarkable history and affiliation with Johns Hopkins University make us a natural leader for this important conversation.”
Titled “What’s Next for Classical Music?,” the symposium explored questions such as:
What is the environment for classical music today, and how is it changing? How does that changing environment affect the way professional music training evolves in the years ahead? What role will conservatories play and what responsibility will these institutions have for fostering a love of music and building audiences for it? “What’s Next for Classical Music?” will take place from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm on Tuesday, October 21, in Peabody’s Miriam A. Friedberg Concert Hall. The event was live streamed at ustream.tv/channel/johnshopkinsu
