the first European festival on creativity

2017 Program

Event #36

Paolo Gavazzeni, Omer Meir Wellber

The conductor, the orchestra and the score

In an era where communication, relationships and projects can be built without ever looking one another in the eye, the work of an orchestra conductor is an example of a countertrend. A musical performance is the result of an unfiltered dialogue. With his empathy and power of persuasion, the orchestra conductor – who is at the head of a network – can spur unimaginable reactions in the orchestra. For its part, the orchestra is a perfectly organized society where each individual has a specific and well defined role. It’s a hierarchical society, a cage, that the conductor cannot consider differently. Even the score is a cage. Everything is written in the score: the notes, the execution times, the movements, accents, phrasing and agogics. Then how is it that every execution of the same composition is different?
