2020: Vol. VII – What keeps societies together
Symposium Content 2020
Text »New tasks and opportunities for music education« 27.02.2020 (ENG/GER)
Constanze Wimmer, Vice-Rector for Education and International Affairs of Graz University of Music and Performing Arts, had undertaken to reflect on the outcomes of the second day of the Symposium, which centred on musicians’ self-image nowadays, and on the associated training situation and the wide variety of possible professional careers and life pathways for musicians. Furthermore, the day also focused on the subject of the new requirements applying to cultural institutions and cultural education, and posed questions about the opportunities for processes of change.

Video recording »Research Music Teaching« 27.02.2020 (GER)
Esther Bishop, a qualified musician, looked at the current state of the training of musicians in a rapidly-changing society. What expectations did students have when they began their studies, and what value for a practical professional career do they attach to their qualification? As the outcome of her research work, she recommended further expansion of the vocational field orientation, because nowhere near all students will subsequently work as soloists or as orchestral musicians.

Video recording »What could keep our society together« 28.02.2020 (GER)
Norbert Lammert, former German Bundestag President, and Carsten Brosda, Hamburg’s Culture Senator took, as the subject for the concluding talk of the Symposium on The Art of Music Education, the growing demand for the sole validity of opinions. Lammert was visibly concerned »that claims to truth are again being increasingly propagated in the supposedly most enlightened society of all time.«

Video recording »How much politics can a concert tolerate?« 27.02.2020 (GER)
Tobias Rempe, Managing Director of the Hamburg-based Ensemble Resonanz, asked the question: »So how should one be neutral in these fundamental debates?« Together with Gerald Mertens, Managing Director of the DOV (Association of German Orchestras), he drew attention to the fact that because concerts are a part of society, they don’t take place on an island. Philip Graham and Antonia Köster from the Notos Quartet reported on the reasons why they were the first to return the ECHO Classic Award at that time.

Video recording »It’s all politics – where’s the art?« 26.02.2020 (GER)
Stefanie Carp, Artistic Director of the Ruhrtriennale, began her contribution by presenting the festival that she has directed since 2018. First of all, she described the initial position in social situations and places that were being approached by art and whose identities it was reshaping, and on that basis she talked about representation and identity politics. The argument that, in the first instance, the work is the decisive factor for an artist, is no longer given a hearing in today’s inflamed public sphere of social media. Differentiation is undesirable.

Video recording »The Art of Democracy« 26.02.2020 (GER)
Among other things, Hamburg’s Minister for Culture Carsten Brosda dismissed the belief that art can act as a »social glue« to solve problems caused elsewhere. Wherever the members of a society perceived a defect in distributive justice there would, in the course of time, be an outbreak of conflicts within society that would ultimately call into question the entire system of coexistence – including its core cultural and social values.
