Moving Culture: August 2009
http://moving-culture.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
What moves us in culture and which way culture moves. Sunday, August 30, 2009. What was or . what wasn't. The sudden resignation of the whole Opera management is rocking the boat a bit. Initially, somebody, who has been following the whole developments, could make an estimated guess of what went on - an those, who had more first-hand accounts were fairly informed. A shareholder of any kind of company has obviously the right to know - to a certain extent decide - on management matters. The National Th...

Moving Culture: July 2009
http://moving-culture.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
What moves us in culture and which way culture moves. Wednesday, July 29, 2009. Slovakia's music scene is relatively small. It's in fact just a small village. Only the lack of a good high-way system makes the country seem vast, where you travel almost a whole day to reach the other end (instead of just a couple of hours). One of the reasons, where one's focus on music is therefore determined to be confined to the capital itself - and thus even a smaller village. Friday, July 24, 2009. Organises this fest...

Moving Culture: How to loot your culture
http://moving-culture.blogspot.com/2010/04/how-to-loot-your-culture.html
What moves us in culture and which way culture moves. Friday, April 30, 2010. How to loot your culture. As the Expo Shanghai is approaching, a bizarre anecdote came to my attention. When communicating about possibilities to be present in Shanghai for the Slovak Republic, the bottom line of the whole matter was that; "Yes you can be part of our country's representation. No, of course we will not pay you; it is obviously for the honour that you will do it to represent your country". How to loot your culture.

What moves us in culture and which way culture moves. Saturday, October 17, 2009. While having been closely observing the period, where the famous opera star Gabriela Beňačková was endowed with the task of forming the Opera house to equal the great international levels of other famous centres like La Scala, the Royal Opera House, the Metropolitan, and you name it. Afraid to say, that neither Ms. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Bratislava Academy of Music:. An orphan in ancient music. Published by Michael Srba.

Moving Culture: February 2010
http://moving-culture.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
What moves us in culture and which way culture moves. Sunday, February 7, 2010. A trend in Slovakia's music world is that incompetent managers do everything they can to destroy it. A manager is not to have any vision, responsibility for his product is completely unheard of, and it seems the only objective is to make sure your own salary is as optimal as it can be. Having two heavy weight cultural centres around the corner - Vienna as well as Budapest, the burden is simply too massive to be ignored.

Moving Culture: December 2009

What moves us in culture and which way culture moves. Saturday, December 19, 2009. It was a few days ago in the SME newspaper - culture section, where the Slovak violinist Juraj Čižmarovič gave an interview. (For those able to read Slovak you can find the article here. Just for your information, Mr Čižmarovič is currently concert master with the Cologne based WDR Fernsehenorchester and is lately taking up the conductor's baton as well. Quite an achievement. Chapeau. But putting these two things - the emb...

Moving Culture: Letting marketing slip through

What moves us in culture and which way culture moves. Thursday, July 22, 2010. Letting marketing slip through. My highly esteemed colleague in Vienna, Christian Henner-Fehr, highlighted a subject in his blog. Lately an article, which appeared on the web exactly at a point, where I banged my head against the same issue here in Slovakia. The original author Bernd Röthlingshöfer in his blog " . und jeztz zur Werbung. When no clear goals are defined. Not fully understanding how social media works. Again, it ...

Moving Culture: Managerial challenges
http://moving-culture.blogspot.com/2010/07/managerial-challenges.html
What moves us in culture and which way culture moves. Sunday, July 4, 2010. Running a cultural entity, whether an orchestra, theatre or museum is a bit of a different type of job as running a regular commercial business. Your output is far less tangible as let's say selling books or computers. What became more apparent, was the total lack of leadership, where suddenly every one became an expert for another person's portfolio. Sad to see a another unique and valuable ensemble in Slovakia - with much inter...

Moving Culture: March 2009
http://moving-culture.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
What moves us in culture and which way culture moves. Thursday, March 12, 2009. Since the emergence of historically informed music practises, in the early 1950s, the camps between the traditionalist and the new ‘rebelious’ or ‘alternative’ performers were somewhat polarised. For some odd reasons, a large group did not want to give in, and the other few would sometimes have the feeling they were the lonely voice calling in the desert. It was as if neither were to meet. Sunday, March 8, 2009. Needless to s...
