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!
