22nd IAMA International Conference

Welcome from our hosts, the Palace of Arts A couple of months ago we wrote: “…the two of us are truly looking forward to be standing at the door of the Palace of Arts at midday on 19th April saying: “Welcome to Budapest, welcome to the 22nd IAMA Conference. Please come in.” And now the moment has come. We are happy to see all of you here as a result of several months of preparation and we hope that Budapest will find its way to your heart – if it has not already done so. We are living in difficult times. The economic crisis, unemployment, tensions within nations and between cultures not only make life harder but sometimes even extinguish it. How can art respond to this situation? Should the muses stand still? We do believe it is not so. As the present conference shows, there are many of us who believe that it is better to look for good solutions in hard times together. In times when orchestras, opera houses, choirs, ballet ensembles and theatres are closed and extinguished, when thousands of artists lose their job, when a ticket for a concert or a theatre performance is mere luxury compared to the expenses of everyday living, when sponsors and patrons are busy with their own business matters, when state funding has not been available for years – in such times we must combine our forces and work out the solutions together. We hope that the participants of the 22nd IAMA International Conference will depart with many good ideas, having made new friends and valuable contacts. This will help art in many parts of the world to escape negligence and indifference, to create successful artistic projects and to fill the concert halls and theatres with audience. If you look out of the window, you see the Danube which connects nations and cultures since thousands of years: its waves take further items and ideas, in order to enrich both the origin where they come from and the goal they are aiming at. When you travel along the Danube in the city, you will see the bridges which not only connect Pest and Buda but al so East and West. The culture of our Hungarian nation originating from Asia has been developing here for centuries and it has integrated everything that Europe could offer. We have Nobel-laureates, we have world-

famous writers, painters and sculptors, actors in both the theatre and the film industry, and composers. How poor would European civilisation be without Liszt and Bartók. Let us round off this greeting with the words of Bartók: “... My own idea, however — of which I have been fully conscious since I found myself as a composer—is the brotherhood of peoples, brotherhood in spite of all wars and conflicts. I try—to the best of my ability —to serve this idea in my music; therefore I don’t reject any influence, be it Slovakian, Romanian, Arabic or from any other source. The source must only be clean, fresh and healthy!” (Letter of Bartók to Octavian Beu, January 10, 1931) We are grateful for the IAMA Board and all participants for your trust in the preparation team which has done a fantastic job – thank you, colleagues! We are happy to greet to you here and hope that you will return to your home country with a lot of good remembrances. Good luck for the 22nd IAMA Conference!

Panel Session II: Solutions in Hard Times: A Focus on Orchestras Last year the IAMA conference focused on the large national flagship orchestras but what about the orchestra who contributes significantly to music life of a city, who is not able to command high ticket prices, afford the super-famous artist or tour very often? Its work though is the substance of most of the music business. Pressure on subsidies and the absence or difficulty raising private money to counteract budget constraints and choices to either compromise or cut activity. Join us in a discussion that gets real about the difficulties of the orchestra's management and how we can improve understanding and co-operation.

Are you left in doubt as to what the implications of copyright and usage might be or how long is "limiting rights"? This session offers neutral, specialist advice from a legal panel's perspective who will bring their experience to the table. Add your concerns and examples of problems and this promises to be an interactive session that engender more confidence in dealing with media in the future.

PR Angles and Trends in the Development of Artists’ Careers: case studies that can contribute to building careers successfully This is a specialist advice session that looks at comparative questions and answers between the commercial pop world and classical music. What can we learn from the case studies presented and what changes have been experienced over the last decade that we need to know about that make PR another essential element in developing artists’ careers?

Constituency meeting for chamber orchestras & choir managements Chamber orchestras form one of the largest blocks within IAMA's Affiliate membership. They are under great pressures due to the fact that many do not receive state funding and have to survive on touring and private sponsorship. Their musicians are loyal and enterprising and thus, their determination to survive the current climate is an example to many. Within the music canon, they fulfil an important niche role with size as one of their advantages. There are disadvantages too – touring has been very difficult. What strategies can be shared that help one another to survive hard time? A discussion facilitated by John Bickley, General Manager, The Sixteen

17:15 – 18:30 Auditorium

Panel Session III: 360 degree management or In-House Service: When is it appropriate? This session focuses on the debatable move by artist managements, recording companies and promoters bringing together service elements in-house. The 360 degree model has been tried, abandoned, mixed around and by some, rejected. Artist Managements have bought and sold PR businesses and promoters have embarked on their own media plans – some more successfully than others. Granted, business choices in music may not always involve commercial aims but, what are the values that matter today? What are realistic expectations and how do we manage these by way of communication to our audiences and the artists we serve? When does selfservice add value to our aims and when is it better to leave it to outside professionals?

22nd IAMA International Conference

HONORARY LIFE MEMBERSHIP AWARD: 2012: JAMES BROWN

Zoltán Kocsis started to play music at a very young age. His international career, though, began when at the age of eighteen he won the Beethoven Piano Competition of the Hungarian Radio. He appeared extensively in Europe, South and North America, as well as all major venues in the Far East. He has been a regular guest performer at major festivals, including Edinburgh, Paris, Tours, Luzern, La Roque d’Anthéron, Salzburg, Prague, Menton, Verbier, to name a few. As a performer he has worked under the baton of Claudio Abbado, Christoph von Dohnányi, Edo de Waart, Charles Mackerras, Lovro von Matac ˇic´, Charles Dutoit, Herbert Blomstedt, Michael Tilson Thomas and Lorin Maazel with leading orchestras the world such as the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. He has recorded with many leading labels including Hungaroton, Nippon Columbia, Phonogram, Quintana and Philips Classics. His most significant awards include an Edison and Gramophone Award. He was a founding member of the Budapest Festival Orchestra and has worked as chief musical director of the National Philharmonic Orchestra since the autumn of 1997. In addition to world-famous Hungarian and foreign soloists appearing at the National Philharmonic Orchestra’s season ticket concerts, the orchestra often introduces gifted young musicians. His programming reflects his commitment to presenting contemporary music and works by Hungarian composers. Zoltán Kocsis was artistic director of the critically acclaimed Bartók New Series project launched in December 2006, published by the Hungaroton Classic label. The series presented the entire oeuvre of the composer serving as a kind of critical edition of his complete works. Alongside conducting and playing the piano, its composition, orchestration and transcriptions that have also become synonymous with his name.

GÜNTHER OBWEXER

MARCO TUTINO

Born in London sometime back in the last century, John’s interest in choral music began at the age of 9 when he became a chorister at Westminster Abbey. Having read English at Queens’ College, Cambridge, a career in arts administration led from the London Opera Centre to the setting up of his own music agency, Magenta Music International, which specialised in early and contemporary music, with clients including The Hilliard Ensemble. It was here that he first encountered Harry Christophers and The Sixteen, and for the next 25 years acted firstly as artist manager and then as a trustee. After selling his business to Hazard Chase in Cambridge, and working there for several years, he was then Development Director for Britten Sinfonia. Stepping down as a trustee of The Sixteen in 2008 to act as maternity cover for the General Manager, John stayed on as Development Director, and is now once again doing maternity cover for the Chief Executive. He is a director of The Sixteen’s own recording label CORO. He has remained closely in touch with the world of artist management and is an Honorary Lifetime member of the International Artist Managers’ Association. He is a trustee of Wysing Arts Centre and Cambridge Early Music. Ski-ing is his main non-music obsession, followed by travel, especially in South America and Asia.

Fond of music since his early years, Günther Obwexer sang in several choirs as a child. After graduating with a degree in economics at the University Luigi Bocconi in Milan, he began working for Alessandra Abbado at Ferrara Musica, followed by other concert and opera agencies. In 1997, together with a business partner, he founded in Milan his own agency which specialises in placing opera singers internationally.

Marco Tutino debuted as a composer in 1976 by participating in the Festival Gadeamus in Holland. Since then his work has been performed in many festivals and seasons including that of Vienna, Genoa, Verona, Livorno, Bologna, Ancona, La Scala, Milan, Rome Opera, Modena, Venice, Rovigo, Treviso, Palermo, Erfurt, (Germany) and Opera de Metz, France. More recently has taken the subject from the play The Servant by Robin Maugham, which debuted in 2008 under the direction of Gabriele Lavia, earning him critical acclaim. In 2008 the opera house in Ostrava (Czech Republic) presented his La Lupa, which is restaged with great success and Vita in 2009 which debuted in Szeged after the premiere at the Teatro all a Scala in 2003. In January 2011, the Teatro Massimo of Palermo opened its season with a commission entitled: Senso, to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy. In parallel with his artistic career, he held positions of management including Teatro Valli in Reggio Emilia, Artistic Director of Musical Afternoons in Milan, artistic advisor and composer in residence at Fondazione Arena di Verona where FUTURE, a festival dedicated to musical theatre for the younger generation was established. In 2002 he was appointed Artistic Director, Teatro Regio, Turin and in 2006 to 2011 served as general manager and artistic director of the Teatro Comunale of Bologna. During this time, he also served as President dell’Anfols, the association of all Italian opera foundations.

I

t has been a difficult year financially; with smaller incomes and ever rising prices, it is essential to know how to handle your money. Whether this involves cutting back on your spending, spreading out your finances carefully or increasing your revenue driving activities, every penny we can save is important. For some top money-saving tips for self-employed musicians we spoke to John Seeley, an accountant specialising in small growing business, and the Incorporated Society of Musicians.

BRITISH & INTERNATIONAL MUSIC YEARBOOK

2012

ISM’s tips for self-employed musicians Written contracts for all your work This makes it is absolutely clear what terms were agreed if a dispute should arise. Your contract should be with the person or organisation who will be paying you. Include cancellation or termination provisions This means you will receive a cancellation fee if a performance is cancelled and fees in lieu if a student stops lessons without giving you proper notice. Know your worth in the marketplace Be prepared to negotiate for a higher fee if the fee being offered is below the going market rate. Take account of all your related expenses It is probably not worth accepting an engagement if the fee offered barely covers your costs of travelling to it. It’s worth asking for travel expenses to be reimbursed. Look carefully at all your expenditure Shop around for the cheapest mobile phone contract and electricity supplier. Use your credit cards wisely It is best to avoid charging to your cards more than you can afford to repay each month. If you find yourself unable to clear the sum outstanding, you might consider transferring the balance to another card offering to charge zero interest on transferred balances. Self-employed are eligible for working tax credit If you work 30 or more hours per week and your income is sufficiently low. Musicians should include in their working hours total not only the time they spend performing and teaching but also time sent in rehearsal, private practice time, other preparation, administration and marketing etc. Contact the ISM We can help you recover unpaid fees and support you in other work-related legal disputes. Our advice line can help you with money problems. The ISM Members Fund pays grants to musicians in acute financial need. For more money saving ideas, visit www.ism.org

John Seeley Step up your promotional activities You should be investing your time and money in costeffective ways to promote yourself. If competitors think promotion is not worth doing at this time, then that means less competition for you. Don’t confuse price with cost Paying more for something you get a far lower cost because the value – the benefit to you – is higher. The reverse can apply – you cut the price you pay, the value which you get (the cost) can increase. Review your borrowing Are you borrowing at unnecessarily high rates? Can you increase your loan repayments Paying more than the minimum payment on your credit card will save you a significant amount of money and you’ll end up with much more money in your pocket. Do a personal budget Analyse your personal spending, calculate how much you need to reduce your personal spending by and then construct a budget. Manage the tax! Leaving your tax affairs to the last minute will not only increase the risk of aninvestigation by HMRC, but you’re more likely to incur interest, surcharges and possible penalties. Cutting spending works only in the short-term To make spending cuts effective you have to first change the way you live or work to make the effect of those spending reductions effective in the long run.

Reviewing Ms. Wang’s appearance with the Fine Arts Quartet at Alice Tully Hall in New York in November 2010, Allan Kozinn of The New York Times praised Ms. Wang’s “nuanced, spirited, crisply articulated and assertive readings.” Ms. Wang’s upcoming engagements include appearances with the Fine Arts Quartet in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Music in the Mountains Festival, California; Idaho State Civic Symphony; and the Santa Barbara Symphony, California. She will appear in recital in San Juan, Puerto Rico and at Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall this fall and will be touring in September 2013 with the Lithuanian Orchestra to Vilnius, Warsaw, and Berlin. Ms. Wang has six recordings to her credit. In spring 2011, Naxos released a critically lauded CD of Richard Danielpour’s “The Enchanted Garden,” Preludes Books I and II following a world premiere performance Ms. Wang gave of Book II at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall. In the fall of 2010, Ms. Wang released a highly praised recording of the piano music of Earl Wild, including his celebrated Gershwin arrangements, on Chandos. In a review of this CD for Fanfare, Scott Noriega wrote that Ms. Wang played “with such assuredness, such delicacy, that one forgets the difficulties inherent in the performance, and is left breathless in musical awe.” Ms. Wang is scheduled to record George Gershwin’s Concerto in F with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and works by Barber and Copland during February and April 2013. Recently, Ms. Wang toured with the St. Petersburg Symphony performing Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in St. Petersburg, Russia as well as in the United States in Houston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston, Washington D.C. and at Alice Tully Hall in New York. She made her London debut at Cadogan Hall in September 2011 and was heard in Haifa and Tel Aviv with the Israel Chamber Orchestra this past December. A Steinway Artist, Ms. Wang is represented by Thea Dispeker, Inc. New York, NY Galiya Valerio and Stephen Lugosi managers. Please visit www.xiayinwangpiano.com.
