Listen "Conductor Spotlight - James Judd"
Episode Synopsis
Let’s hear it from conductors!
In an occasional departure from the usual A Stick with a Point format I’ve been interviewing a few of my conductor friends and getting their thoughts on the state of the business and what the future might hold, as well as a few more practical matters; “What is the role of an orchestra in a community? How do orchestras in different parts of the world survive and get their funding? Will there be an audience for symphonic music in the future and how do we nurture it? Is the notion of ‘relevance’ a transitory red herring?
My first guest is the wonderful James Judd whose views are not only well considered but inspiring and, well full of that much-overlooked attribute, “common sense”.
I thoroughly enjoyed it and I hope you do too!
