How do you start an orchestra? What does it take for a young musician to blossom today? What does «young» even mean and how do you get Gen Z-ers and Millennials to tune in to each other?
In this episode, we revisit a moving and insightful conversation recorded back in December 2023, when the LGT Young Soloists last ignited the Philharmonie’s stage. Entrepreneurship, leadership, music education and the future of orchestras are our key talking points with their director, Alexander Gilman.
In the second half of the show, Josh Island joins in to unpack our playlist of the week: a selection of recordings showcasing Alexander’s incredible work with the award-winning youth orchestra, topped up by a celebration of the Philharmonie’s very own talent incubator, the Luxembourg Philharmonic Academy.
