Art should be dangerous
When did you last experience a true performance? Not one of those musically perfect but soulless concerts by a celebrity maestro and a touring orchestra - Edinburgh yesterday and Salzburg tomorrow - that is more restatement than performance. I mean a real performance, a one-off where routine is traded for risk, where the musicians become players in a drama, an event which, to paraphrae Carl Nielsen, gives us something else, gives us something new, instead of expressing deedless admiration for the conventional.

CM: Who were some of your favorite performers? NE: Some of the performers that I had–I brought a group from Bowling Green, OH called Quince Contemporary Vocal Ensemble , and they are just amazing. They are so skilled, and they are just wonderful singers, and they performed half of a concert of vocal music, or music that can be performed with voice, and I thought that was unbelievable!
