Enough With The Predictions Already

Just a short and sweet post today to say there must be something in the air as I’ve seen a trio of classical music prediction articles over the last week. Usually, they don’t really bother me but while the field is still emerging from the pandemic and uncertainty runs rampant, now is not the time for prognostication.

Instead, examining how orchestras can use this time of transition to shed old habits, embrace something new, or refine what’s in place is a far better use of time.

There is no shortage of discussions to dive into there and they are more valuable than the doom and gloom that comes from a lot of the prediction-oriented articles.
