In honor and celebration of #Juneteenth, we sponsored an outing to the ‘Juneteenth Jubilee’ at Dizzy’s Jazz Club, a renowned venue within Jazz at Lincoln Center. Members of the Pretium team came together to listen to powerful music, featuring acclaimed musician C. Anthony Bryant, which reflected the resilience, hope, and spirit of Juneteenth. Thanks to all who joined us for a night of cultural richness and artistic excellence! #Juneteenth2024

Steinbeck on jazz musicians: "I know of no group apart from jazz musicians, which has such direction in work. They aim at excellence and apparently at nothing else. They are hard to buy and, if bought, they either backslide into honesty or lose the respect of their peers. And this is a loss that terrifies them. In any other field of American life, great rewards can be used to cover a loss of honesty, but not with jazz players - a slip is known and recognised instantly. And further, they do not compare with those in other professions. Let a filthy kid, unknown, unheard of and unbacked sit in - and if they can do it - they're recognised and accepted instantly. Do you know of any other field where this is true? And this curious search for and treasuring of excellence is the one thing that has never been said of them nor written of them." #jazz #excellence #integrity

Giving back: always important, especially when it aligns with your organisation's values. Coxswain Alliance sponsors a critical learning and development program with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra; the Fellows. This is about nurturing the talent of the future, building capability. Have a listen to how the seasoned players David and Matthew talk about mentoring young and talented players. It is a nuanced approach that offers multiple avenues for building capability. And Matthew's comment goes to the heart of it. It's not just about being a good player; it's also about being a good colleague. Isn't that the truth!
Next month our Fellows take centre-stage in The Splendour of the Baroque, performing alongside members of the Sydney Symphony and directed by acclaimed early music specialist Erin Helyard. As part of the Fellowship program, these young musicians receive mentorship from members of our Orchestra. Here, Principal Trumpet David Elton and Principal Emeritus Bassoon Matthew Wilkie talk about their role as mentors of the Fellowship program, revealing some of the many perks of the program and sharing some insights about this special concert.

When what you DO seems like a really great reason for gathering, says Priya Parker, it’s easy to neglect the crucial exercise of establishing a meaningful purpose—the “why” for your gathering. This oversight is prevalent in the classical music world. Orchestras and opera companies, according to Parker’s framework, too often conflate category with purpose. Translation: Classical music is the “what”, not the “why”—the product, not the purpose. Establishing a meaningful purpose means moving beyond art for art’s sake and asking “Why?” or “To what end?” When we skip this step, it’s very difficult to successfully communicate our value, justify our funding, and attract donors and ticket buyers. Plus, says Parker, we miss out on the possibility of creating something truly ✨transformative.✨ ________________________ For more audience-building ideas grounded in proven innovation frameworks, tap the 🔔 in my profile or follow @cultureforhire. #audiencedevelopment #artsmarketing #artsandculture
