Un tinello per la Musica da Camera | Matteo Negrin | TEDxTorino


[Music]
[Applause]
well before starting I would like to make one
question how many of you have already been in
this place to listen let’s say
in the last year a music concert
classical
fine fine
here you do not have to be ashamed
in the sense that only 12 percent of the
inhabitants of piedmont claims to have
seen a classical music concert
over the last 12 months
the prose does not fare much better and
21 and only slightly less than half
declares that he has read a book
in the last year
and when I talk about a book I say something a
book shape
you are all thinking of the same thing
yes here it is normal that few of you
they went in this room has to listen
a concert of classical music because
the public is basically stopped
in a very different way
see, I have been doing for 25 years
professional musician and from this
viewing angle I’m used to
appreciate whole stretches of hair
blue and purple with these ears ho
learned to extinguish the sound of the
candy baratti discarded and that then
beats rhythmically on the palate of the
dentures of ladies gentlemen in
first row here I’m talking about that
that the hard core of the subscribers of the
musical and theatrical seasons he has
an age whose average is abundantly
over 65 years abundantly above i
65 years
and the summer that separates the two seasons
often a very ditch
deep in which any of these
bonati due to force majeure yes
loses and at the beginning of the new season
it is increasingly difficult to find
someone who replaces the old man
subscriber
in his chair he brought it more
immediate and you see young people
musicians are young and often they are
very talented they find themselves playing
for audiences that have the average age of
their grandparents
this means losing the first inspiration
who makes art that is the inspiration to
contemporaneity
I tell you there are many obstacles for
which today someone can go to
listen to a concert of classical music
I give you an example of a sonata by
mozart is a piece written in the
seven hundred which provides according to the
current liturgy that artist and public
they leave their house and go to a place
built according to the criteria
of the nineteenth century probably built o
renovated in the twentieth century in which today
in the xxi century
that song can be heard at home
free and not in exchange for a
price of a ticket on a tablet or
a smartphone
probably in five versions
space in hd and with shooting on
hands of the author understand how many obstacles
not only economic there are among the
public and the artist here is three years ago
I’m placed this problem as I can
give these young performers one
different audience and I thought of the
difficulties that especially have
thirty forty years old who have children
to go out in the evening at home looking for a
grandfather here leave the grandfather and what
the subscription looking for a nanny to whom
leave the children and then go to the
concert and return home paying the
taxi but not their tax and nanny
because public transport is however not there
I’m more I invented something that yes
call adopts a music pianist from
room in your room where at times
different
if the times of the day families with
their children can go homes
private to listen to concerts of
young musicians in a non environment
formal welcoming in which if a child
crying is not seen as a stigma
he cried we are seven billion on the
earth something tells me that someone does
ended right now as well as in
this moment in San Salvador they are
developing ten concerts of music
classic in private homes where young people
performers and the public did from
families with children find themselves maybe
sitting on the cushions on the floor maybe
study on the bed to live in a manner
contemporary classical music e
this will be in my aspiration the
public the years to come that
will listen to music as it will not listen
I know but I’m sure he will listen to it
adopts a pianist and chamber music
in your room if any of you have in it
own house a piano or a friend
who has a piano at home
keep it in mind it’s worth it thanks
