"Why does a symphony orchestra have such social significance?"
Music is an essential part of life. We turn to it in happiness and sadness. It is an inexhaustible source of joy, illusions, hopes and nostalgia. Music always accompanies us. And a symphony orchestra gives us the possibility to experience this wealth of emotions in a communal way. A symphony orchestra is the place where people from the same city come together to unite through music.
"What makes a symphony orchestra so special?"
A symphony orchestra performs live the most extraordinary music ever composed.
From Bach (1685-1750) to Kaiija Saariaho (1952) through Mozart (1756-1791), Beethoven (1770-1827), Clara Wieck (1819-1896), Brahms (1833-1897), Amy Beach (1867-1944), Silvestre Revueltas (1899-1940) and Gabriela Ortiz (1964).
But it is not a still experience. Through a symphony orchestra the history of music comes to life. A life that suddenly pulsates in front of us.
Going to a concert is very different from going to a museum.
The magic of a live orchestra lies in the vibrations:
Instruments vibrate and voices vibrate.
Vibrations that the body receives. The nerves tingle and the blood is agitated.
Moreover, the repertoire of a symphony orchestra is not only composed of old repertoire. An important part of its work must be devoted to contemporary creation and even to the commissioning of new music.
