Greg Sandow on the future of classical music

Comments

May 26, 2006 by Greg Sandow

I’m gratified by how many comments are coming in, and by how interesting they are. I have to say, with regret, that I’m not able to reply individually to each one, as I’ve tried to do with the comments on my book. I may not be able to respond to every book comment in the future, either. Precisely because I do much work on the future of classical music, my time is getting squeezed.

I’m responding to many of the comments, though, if not most of them. And I’m grateful for all of them. I always learn a lot from everything that people say to me, whether in comments to the blog or in private e-mail.

    It’s a happy blog that allows comments, Greg. Thanks for being open to them here and so often fielding them. Great to see someone such as yourself engage in dialogue with us Joe-Bloggs-music-enthusiast- out here!

    Talking of comments – heard you on WQED fm the other day as Jim Cunningham cornered (?!) you post-concert at Carnegie Hall. It’s good to hear Greg Sandow on the radio, even if impromptu.

    More please!

    Well, gosh, thanks, Jonathan! I miss Pittsburgh, and loved seeing everyone at the Carnegie concert. Loved the concert, too, and was raving about the Tchaikovksy,which is probably why Jim shyly asked me to record a comment. But he used a video camera, so you’re only getting half the effect if you only heard it on the radio! Jim said it would be on Channel 13…

Though I've been known for many years as a critic, most of my work these days involves the future of classical music -- defining classical music's problems, and finding solutions for them. Read More…

About The Blog

This started as a blog about the future of classical music, my specialty for many years. And largely the blog is still about that. But of course it gets involved with other things I do — composing music, and teaching at Juilliard (two courses, here … [Read More...]

How to write a press release

As a footnote to my posts on classical music publicists, and how they could do better, here's a post I did in 2005 -- wow, 11 years ago! --  about how to make press releases better. My examples may seem fanciful, but on the other hand, they're almost … [Read More...]

The future of classical music

Before the crisis

Four keys to the future

Age of the audience
