we had members who played in the first performance of beethoven's ninth symphony conducted by beethoven. so these people brought the knowledge how beethoven wanted his music to be played into our orchestras. now this happens from beethoven to brahms, bruckner, mahler, richard strauss, john williams. and i think that shaped our collective memory. now this happens from beethoven to brahms, bruckner, mahler, richard strauss, john williams. and i think that shaped our collective memory. today we have three of our academists here to get a masterclass. two violinists, one flute player. our academy is a training programme for young musicians to become excellent orchestral musicians. being in the academy for me is a great gift. i can rememberwatching, i think, every new year'sl concert to vienna philharmonic my whole life _ you get so many opportunities to play with the orchestra and to rehearse with them. to nurture young players, this is our future. the orchestra is now since 183 years. we hope that it will be another 183 years or even more. today's the day you will be playing for very valued

actually, if you would conduct beethoven or mozart or brahms, it would make no sense to use a robot. my opinion. but if you if you commission a contemporary composer for writing a new piece for divided orchestra, you can use one robot in this direction, one in this and one in this direction. so each part of the orchestra has its own robot and can follow it. and these robots, these three arms are capable of moving movements completely independent. and one arm, for example, can get faster and one can get slower and slower. this this can be done by by a human. and how did the musicians respond to this? yeah, it was actually quite hard because the robots cannot hear. they cannot listen to the orchestra. so the challenge for the musicians was to follow exactly the movements, because if they would get slower and slower, the robot wouldn't correct this. so it would break the performance. but it was fantastic. the audience liked it very much and it looked great. you can see actually the video on the home page of the dresdner sinfoniker there. sinfoniker there you will find a video of this pe

and this is just selecting from the b's bach, beethoven, beckett, botticelli, barry as in chuck berry. by the way, and brahms. cesar cervantes, cervantes, chekhov, chopin and copland. i even i know those are all white men. yes, absolutely. yeah. and it's it is the problem with the conventions is that in order for a real person's name to be used, that person has to have had 50 years of fame. they must be deceased for at least three years. so we're looking at a historical pool, but also they have to have demonstrable fame or recognition. and when we look at the type of people who were allowed to achieve fame and recognition and status, that's not a diverse pool. and that's because these metrics are very much set by and set to benefit the patriarchy. and so while our rules are consistent with that structural imbalance, we're not going to have good representation. so what is it you're asking the iau to do? because you did send them an open letter? i did, yes, the open letter really wanted to point out that we do have this imbalance. like i said at the time, i focused on a gender imbalance

know, who's your favorite composer, you'd be offered a passage about, you know, brahms or about beethoven. and then you could sort of like read what fred had to say about those composers. so ultimately my father and i knew that the more examples of my grandfather's writing we had the more dynamic this chop bar would be. so the role that i played in all of this was to collect and digitize my grandfather, his writing. so in some cases that was challenging, like that manic handwriting scrawl that you saw and but that challenge of sort spending time with this language that was sort of like somewhere in between language and image, which again is really interesting for me as a cartoonist right like the sort of struggle to decode what was left behind and then translate it into a digital space was really instructive for me because it reminded me something i'm really interested as a memoirist, which is that the human hand plays a significant role in constructing history and something hope. my book communicates in a really visceral way. like if there's anything i have to contribute to the conversat
