The Second Great Lie Of Academia
[…] I’ll readily admit that it is premature to label entrepreneurship programs as the Second Great Lie Of Academia. To be more precise, it’s at a fork in the road where it will either take the high road and realize its potential or heading south toward Liarville. What Do You Think? By and large, I refrain from pure commentary articles but this topic deserves to be an exception to the rule. My recent conversation with Andrew Hitz for his Entrepreneurial Musician podcast helped me realize the need for addressing this topic in a public forum (thanks to Andrew for that spark). To that end, I’m going to reach out to some of the major conservatories and schools of music to see which ones are willing to have frank conversation about this topic then publish the results here. In the meantime, I’m very curious to know what you think so take a […]

A few belated words on the NSO show last Saturday. This was the second of two weekends led by Eschenbach, his first appearances the announcement that Gianandrea Noseda will replace him at the NSO's helm. The program featured the second group of works that the NSO will take on tour to Europe this month--the overture to Der Freischutz, Schubert's Symphony No. 8, and Brahms First Symphony. Anne Midgette rightly questions what the deal is with going all the way to Europe to play a bunch of Central European Top 40 Hitz to the locals. Except for a contemporary work by Christopher Rouse this is the reddest of red meat programming. Do European promoters expect American orchestras to prove they can hack it? Sort of the opposite of how we expect Czech orchestras and conductors do the Prague Symphony and Dvorak all the time? Anyhow, […]
