The dangerous "fetishization of new music"

  • Summary

  • Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra composer-in-residence Tarik O'Regan and  executive director Courtney Beck discuss the "fetishization of new music," Tarik's upcoming opera and Concerto for Oud,  how to properly compensate and commission composers, and "the dirty truth" of why many composers prefer writing for period-instrument orchestras.   

    "I think with this fetishization of new music, we've got into this rather needy thing. When you look at a lot of marketing around contemporary music, a lot of it is based around how much you're going to like it. And I think that's a very dangerous way to go because inevitably some people don't like it."
