<\/u><\/div>\n
I am a little known (in UK) conductor, who travels to Moldova in order to conduct the orchestras in Chisinau, Moldova. In addition, I have set up and try to maintain the funding for an education project which brings live music to the children of Moldova. Music is one thing that the Moldovans excel in due to their tradition of high class instrumental instruction and an expectation of exceptional performance standards. Once this is lost to the Moldovan community then it will be almost impossible to recover. My work has been to try to sustain interest in the musical traditions whist introducing new modern methods of performance practice.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The cliché, “Music as an International Language,” is not without substance. Music is a very powerful force for many people and its impact on communities can be extraordinary. Music can bind communities \"\"and heal rifts, it can encourage a sense of national pride and instil a sense of purpose. For these reasons I am fighting a battle to sustain these musical traditions in Moldova.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
How I came to be in Moldova?  I was playing my French horn in the Albert Hall next to a Moldovan called Boris (yes really). I pointed out that I had studied conducting at Royal College of Music and he asked me if I were expensive. I offered to come to Moldova to conduct a concert and my fee would be a bottle of Vodka and the next thing I know I am staring up at an old Soviet jet wondering if I have been to church confession recently enough to obtain eternal salvation in the likely event that we crash, horribly. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
May 1999. Arriving over Chisinau at night. I was sure that we must be in the wrong place as there were almost no visible lights as we come into land. But no, this is indeed Chisinau International Airport, surprisingly modern and well appointed. For the next week I was in a whirl of press, radio and television interviews as well as parties and receptions. On one occasion I was interviewed by TV personality Angela (that’s all I know!). An enormous smelly basset hound kept coming on set and slobbering on my leg.  With fixed smile I repeatedly pushed it away but, like a canine boomerang, returned moments later. I then saw that the crew were throwing dog biscuits on to the set; the dog was part of the show. It was the Angela and her Dog<\/i> arts programme.<\/div>\n
 \"\"<\/div>\n
Chisinau has one of the nicest small concert halls I have ever worked in. Organ Hall started life in the 19C as a bank but in the 50s was transformed into a chamber concert hall. It is very elegant and beautiful without any superfluous decoration. The National Chamber Orchestra is the resident ensemble and they are one of the finest of their kind in Europe. The nucleus of the orchestra is 23 string players which, from time to time, we have supplemented with regular extra players.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
After my first visit to Moldova I received grants from the British Foreign Office to cover my expenses (which it almost does). Four years ago a British Embassy was opened in Chisinau and have been very encouraging and helpful in this project. Together we have also devised an educational project by which the orchestra goes into schools to play live music. By the end of the year 50% of the pupils of Moldova will have experienced live music. The teachers also receive resources, recordings, books and worksheets. It has also had the effect of raising the musicians’ salary by 65%. At the New Year’s concert 2001 President Voronin was kind enough to bestow the award Om<\/i><\/b> Emerit<\/i><\/b> in Republica Moldova<\/i><\/b> on me as recognition for my contribution to relations between UK and Moldova. Apparently I now have the right to bear arms and to travel free on public trolleybuses (normal price 8cents). Last year I was offered full Moldovan citizenship<\/b> and I am the proud holder of my new passport and nationality. (Although at 42 I am too old to have to do National Service, pfew!)<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
During the last five years I have obtained for the orchestra a CD contract from Chandos records, a recording for the BBC of the Four Last Songs by Richard Strauss as well as tours in The Ukraine and Russia. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
\"\"Orchestral music is a great strength in Moldova and it is one of the few things that they feel that they have a possibility to develop. Once the orchestras dissolve, through lack of funding, it will be very difficult to re-establish. If the young people are not encouraged to maintain this valuable resource then it will die with the current generation of musicians.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Artur Cosma, the Minister for Culture has recently asked me to propose a new project for the young performers of Moldova. With this in mind I have proposed the formation of a Moldovan National Youth Orchestra.<\/u><\/b><\/div>\n
\nA youth orchestra for Moldova would have many advantages.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
1. It would bring together many parts of the country including Cahul, Baltz and Tiraspol under one institution. This orchestra would be about children making music and would avoid political matters, whilst emphasising the need for co-operation.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
2. It would be inexpensive. As you will not be paying the musicians a fee they could tour to other countries. I already have been promised concerts and accommodation in UK!!! An orchestra of this type can promote a country very effectively.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
3. It could introduce modern rehearsal disciplines to a new generation of performers. <\/div>\n
 \"\"<\/div>\n
4. It could train a new generation of orchestral performers who can then go on to the professional orchestras of Moldova. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
5 It could introduce new management styles and marketing techniques<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
6. It would be relatively easy to raise funds for a youth orchestra as there are many charities and government bodies who will give money to youth and education.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
7. It would bring a high level of recognition to potential sponsors as the events would be likely to attract large amounts of media coverage.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
In Moldova, the orchestra will take around five years to develop, to gain an identity and an international reputation.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The residential nature of the rehearsal schedules is to allow all the students, most of whom are desperately poor, to attend. All of their expenses, food, accommodation etc will have to be covered. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
\"\"Political support for the project has been promised, this will include support for any company, sponsor or individual who would wish to be associated with it.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
A modest budget of around £100k per year for the first five years is envisaged. This is to include the cost of touring with the orchestra. Some financial assistance from the OSCE mission in Moldova has been suggested as well as possible funds from the Moldovan Government. The UK Embassy has always been generous in its support of my projects. Brains Direct (UK) and Capital Gold (Praha) have also been forthcoming with funds. The Moldovan Embassy in London is very supportive.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
I am reluctant to go around begging for money. I just hope that if I share my enthusiasm with enough people then others will come forward and offer support for what is, I hope, a worthwhile and lasting experience for our children. <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
