破産申請のPhiladelphia 菅の経営努力 [音楽時評]

Philadelphia Orchestra の経営破綻については前にブログで書いたことがありますが,ようやく数年ぶりの新任Music Director, Yannick Nezet-Seguin が予定より多いコンサートをこなすことが発表されています.

それは,11月に客演予定のNicholas McGeganに Nezet-Seguinが代わって振るというのです. the orchestra was banking on the young, charismatic, and wildly talented conductor to help lagging ticket sales. というチケット売り上げ向上を狙った戦略だそうですが,Nezet-Seguinは他にも He has ongoing committments with the Rotterdam and London, and guest appearances throughout the world. なので,それ以上は望めなさそうです.しかし,彼が契約条件以上に仕事をするというのは,That he would invest more of his time in Philadelphia is a vote of confidence in the future of the organization. といえると評しています,

しかし,チケットの売り上げが伸び,かつ地元からの寄付金が増大するかどうかが,Philadelphia Orchestra 生き残りの鍵となるでしょうから,その期待は大きく  Yannick Nezet-Seguin の双肩にかかっているというべきでしょう.

 

 

Philadelphia Orchestra to add more performances to the season

August 22, 2011

By Peter Crimmins

Yannick Nezet-Seguin, the Orchestra's music director who begins this season, says he will conduct more performances than previously scheduled to help the organization thrive.

In November, he will take over the conducting duties from Nicholas McGegan during a week of Italian-themed classical music, including Tchaikovsky's Francesca da Rimini, Mendelssohn's "Italian" Symphony, Verdi's Overture to La forza del destino, and Respighi's The Pines of Rome.

In naming Nezet-Seguin as music director, the orchestra was banking on the young, charismatic, and wildly talented conductor to help lagging ticket sales. But Philadelphia is not his only gig. He has ongoing committments with the Rotterdam and London, and guest appearances throughout the world.

That he would invest more of his time in Philadelphia is a vote of confidence in the future of the organization.

"It's a very clear signal to all of us that he's going nowhere," said orchestra President Allison Vulgamore. "He's finding more time to spend with us. People have been concerned about that, if some of our necessarily actions are keeping Yannick at abeyance. In fact, it's the opposite."

During the orchestra's bankruptcy proceedings, the administration released a new strategic plan, which the musicians rejected saying they were not involved in the planning and are not confident it will work. They are also engaged in collective bargaining discussions.

Vulgamore said she will be talking with the musicians when they return from their current European tour.
