Abstract
Given the challenges orchestras face today, are there opportunities to create broader impact with symphonic music and talented orchestral musicians? Can an orchestra still be a “great orchestra” on stage every week, but also allow itself to become a greater resource for civic life and beyond? As part of the weekly lecture series hosted by the U-M Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies (ICOS), New York Philharmonic President Matthew VanBesien will present his vision for the next important chapter for orchestras like the New York Philharmonic. Since coming to the Philharmonic, he has expanded the Orchestra’s role as a resource to its hometown community, such as through the NY PHIL BIENNIAL, and across the country and globally, as evidenced by the New York Philharmonic Global Academy, customized collaborations with partners worldwide that offer intensive training of pre-professional musicians by New York Philharmonic members, often alongside regular performance residencies by the full Orchestra.
