Stage Presentation by Gerty Podevyn

Review

Score: 10 out of 10

The reasons why this best practice gets a 10 are:

  • Excellent connection with the audience
  • Commitment to orchestra members (colleagues)
  • Mention of all people involved: Soloist, Conductor, Composer, Orchestra, Theatre, Audience
  • Mention of modern techniques: AI and Wolfgang App
  • Explanation of the program is clear, interesting, sometimes funny, and adds value to the listening experience
  • There is a twist to musicians' value (if they were paid more, then), however, the humorous comment about being philanthropists has a serious undertone
  • At the end of the presentation, the violinist manages to connect the whole story to herself in a witty way
  • The giveaway action was just a genius idea!
  • Gerty remembers to wrap it up at the end, resulting in:
  • The audience cannot wait to hear the music, and the musicians are eager to start playing!

Well done, Gerty!
