Het Paraorchestra van Charles Hazlewood is een bijzonder orkest, dat samengesteld is uit professionele musici, van wie een deel leeft met een fysieke functiebeperking. Op 13 juni bezoekt het orkest het Holland Festival in het Concertgebouw met het concert The Aanatomy of the Orchestra | Drone Refractions. Bijzonder is dat het publiek voor deze gelegenheid ook tussen de orkestleden kan rondbewegen, met of zonder rolstoel of andere hulpmiddelen. Hazlewood, die zijn loopbaan als veelgevraagd dirigent van toporkesten inruilde voor het exclusief werken met zijn Paraorkest, heeft hiervoor heel persoonlijke redenen. In deze podcast vertelt hij daar uitgebreid over. Het interview is in het Engels. Een paar van de belangrijkste citaten vatten we hier samen in het Nederlands. Wat is de beste manier om van muziek te genieten? Is dat thuis met een koptelefoon, met een geluidssysteem van een miljoen pond in een concerthal, op straat of in het midden van het orkest?"Als ik zou moeten kiezen, zou ik altijd zeggen dat de beste manier om muziek te ervaren is wanneer je er middenin zit. Het Anatomy of the Orchestra-project ontstond uit een ervaring die ik had toen ik zes jaar oud was. Ik was met mijn moeder naar een orkestrepetitie gekomen, en zat helemaal alleen in een enorm leeg auditorium naar een gigantisch symfonisch orkest te kijken dat aan het repeteren was. De dirigent zei op een gegeven moment: 'Je ziet er behoorlijk eenzaam uit daar beneden. Waarom kom je niet tussen ons zitten terwijl wij repeteren?' Ik ging bij de altvioolsectie in het midden van het orkest zitten. Niets had me kunnen voorbereiden op die waterval van prachtig geluid die op me neerdaalde. Mijn leven veranderde op dat moment. Sindsdien wil ik dat soort ervaring aan het publiek cadeau geven."Hoe combineer je de individuele vrijheid van muzikanten met de discipline van een orkest?"Mijn taak als dirigent is om een overkoepelende architectuur te creëren, een soort zeer veilige en toch vruchtbare en vrije plek, een structuur waarbinnen er dan bijna oneindige vrijheid is voor elke muzikant om het unieke van zichzelf in te brengen. Dus ja, er is discipline. Natuurlijk is er discipline zoals bij een legerpeloton, maar tegelijk ook zoveel meer vrijheid dan je ooit zou vinden in een legerpeloton."Dirigenten staan soms bekend als despoten. Hoe zorg je ervoor dat de noodzakelijke discipline binnen een orkest niet leidt tot excessen in leiderschap? "Voor mij gaat leiderschap absoluut niet over dwang. Dat is een soort oud, patriarchaal model van leiderschap, waarvan ik hoop dat het allang dood en begraven is. De grootste leider is naar mijn mening de grootste luisteraar. Leiderschap gaat over luisteren. Het gaat over het creëren van een platform voor andere mensen om te schitteren, omdat we meer zijn dan de som van onze delen."Hoe ontstond het idee voor Paraorchestra?"Ik heb vier kinderen en mijn jongste, prachtige kind werd geboren met hersenverlamming. In haar korte leven zette dat me aan het denken over die hele gemeenschap van mensen waar ik nooit eerder aan had gedacht. Ik begon me af te vragen: waarom heb ik in meer dan drie decennia dat ik orkesten over de hele wereld heb geleid, nooit een gehandicapte muzikant in een orkest gezien? In het VK identificeert 20% van de bevolking zich als gehandicapt. Dat is een enorme minderheid om over het hoofd te zien."Hoe verhouden aangepaste instrumenten zich tot de symfonische traditie?"Ik praat over het orkest als een voortdurende, moderne en toekomstgerichte traditie. We komen vast te zitten wanneer we orkesten alleen als bewakers van een traditie zien. Het orkest biedt het mooiste, en breedste spectrum in muziek. Er is geen reden waarom zoiets niet kan blijven ontwikkelen. Orkesten zijn bewakers van traditie, maar ze zijn ook het meest betrokken team dat mensen kunnen bedenken. Het is zo modern als de mensheid permanent modern blijft."Worden er nog steeds nieuwe instrumenten ontwikkeld voor mensen met beperkingen?"Er worden voortdurend nieuwe ondersteunende technologie-instrumenten uitgevonden, aangepast aan de specifieke behoeften, de sterke punten en de zwakke punten van een bepaalde musicus. Ik ben musicus, dus ik ben niet echt geïnteresseerd in hoe een stuk technologie in elkaar steekt. Ik wil alleen weten wat het kan doen."Hoe moeten muziekscholen en conservatoria omgaan met deze ontwikkelingen?"Ze moeten hun denken aanpassen en beginnen met het inhuren van onderwijzend personeel dat de verfijning en de kennis en de ervaring heeft van ondersteunende technologie. Het gaat er niet om of je wel of geen handen hebt. Het gaat erom of je geweldige muziek kunt spelen met welke middelen ook nodig zijn. Een van onze eerste klarinettisten is volledig doof, maar hij voelt de intonatie door de trillingen in zijn vingertoppen en speelt zuiverder dan welke klarinettist ook die ik ben tegengekomen."Waarom kies je voor drone-muziek in je Amsterdam-concert?"Drones waren voor mij een absoluut noodzakelijke bescherming toen ik klein was. Ik had een heel traumatische jeugd en drone-muziek was zo belangrijk voor me, omdat je een vast punt hebt, een vaste toon die niet zal opgeven, wat er ook gebeurt. De drone is de ultieme veiligheid. Het is het fundament dat ik miste. Ik denk dat dronemuziek altijd een speciale resonantie voor me heeft gehad. Dit concert staat in het teken van de eenvoudige en levensreddende kracht van de drone."Is Paraorchestra nu je enige werk?"Tijdens de lockdown leefde ik in mijn studio en was ervoer een enorme ik vrede en stilte. Ik bedacht dat ik niet meer op tournee wilde met al die andere orkesten omdat ik nu dit orkest heb, dat zoveel meer hongerig is naar verandering. Paraorchestra bezit moed en nieuwsgierigheid. Dit is een groep musici die wijd open staan voor elke nieuwe ervaring. Ze zitten niet vast aan een oud model, en ik ben er gelukkiger mee dan ik ooit in mijn leven ben geweest."Probeer je andere orkesten te bewegen om inclusiever te worden?"We hadden altijd een duidelijke keuze: we konden veel van onze energie besteden aan schreeuwen naar de industrie dat zij moest veranderen, of we konden de verandering zijn die we willen zien. Ik denk dat dat een veel betere manier is om je tijd te besteden. Het tempo van verandering is glaciaal: tergend langzaam. Dus ik ben liever de verandering die ik wil zien. Dat is wat we doen bij Paraorchestra."Dit is een gratis extra editie van de Cultuurpers Nieuwsbrief in het kader van het Holland Festival. Dat vindt dit jaar plaats van 11 t/m 29 juni 2025.

Synopsis It was on today's date in 2003 that a new violin concerto by composer Shulamit Ran premiered at Carnegie Hall – but it would be just as appropriate for us to run this episode of Composer's Datebook on Mother's Day – as Ran herself explains:“Thoughts of my mother, Berta Ran, whose strength of spirit has been a profoundly significant guiding light throughout my life, have embedded themselves in various parts of this work. At the closing of the concerto, echoes of a familiar melody, one my mother sang to me in childhood with words of her own creation, appear, gently fading away.”Shulamit Ran born in Tel Aviv in 1949 and moved to New York City at age 14 on a scholarship to Mannes College of Music. From 1973 to 2015, she taught at the University of Chicago, and served as composer-in-residence with the Chicago Symphony. In 1991 she won the Pulitzer Prize for Music. Commenting on winning the prestigious award, Ran admitted to being a little surprised: “I feel I've always been out of step,” she said. “At times … I was not considered avant-garde enough. Now, considering the current trend of accessibility, some think I'm too forbidding.” Music Played in Today's Program Shulamit Ran (b. 1949) Violin Concerto Ittai Shapira, vln; BBC Concert Orchestra; Charles Hazlewood, conductor.

Today's guest deejay is Michael Jakucs, AKA Sunwarper. After hearing Michael's music in both Brian Sangmeister and Forest Robots's mixes for Soundwave, I invited Michael to share a mix. Based on Michael's music, I knew we were in good hands. But I did not anticipate the surprising directions he took his mix and yet felt utterly familiar. Let me explain. The focus of Soundwave is ambient, classical, experimental, and instrumental music, with an emphasis on the ambient. And that's fine. I'm all about that ambient life. But for me, it's always a delight when a guest shares a mix that leans into the show's classical, experimental, and instrumental aspects. Christian Sager's doom metal/math rock/hip hop mix comes to mind. As does Charles Hazlewood's mimimalist/modern classical/free jazz mix. What makes today's show special, for me, is that it's very much steeped in shoegaze and dream pop. So while I only know several of the artists in Michael's mix, I already feel well acquainted with the music I'm unfamiliar with. It's very déjà vu. I keep asking myself, “Isn't this a 4AD release?” Michael just released a track composed for the season finale of the webcomic The Eagle and the Snake called "Forever Becoming.” He also has a full-length album, Radiant Visage, that will be released on October 14 and available for pre-order on September 9. Join us next week when our guest deejay will be n5MD founder Mike Cadoo. See you then.

Photo credit: Tom Zimberoff Ahead of this weekend's Tectonic's festival in Glasgow, Kate Molleson meets the pioneering electronic music composer at the centre of this year's programme, Janet Beat, and learns how the studios she inaugurated at universities in Birmingham and Glasgow – from the late 1950s – blazed trails for future generations. Following a performance of Matthias Pintscher's La Linea Evocativa at Wigmore Hall earlier this week, presenter Tom Service speaks to the American-Canadian violinist Leila Josefowicz about her life making music on the concert stage, her role championing contemporary repertoire for the instrument, and the inspiration she finds in Bach's mighty Chaconne. The composer Hannah Peel and conductor Charles Hazlewood join Tom to discuss their new album, The Unfolding. Written during lockdown especially for the Paraorchestra, the album has shot to number one in the classical music charts, and we hear from the musicians in the ensemble, Hattie McCall-Davies and Lloyd Coleman, as they tour with live performances of the project this spring. And, the composer Michael Zev Gordon tells Tom about his new chamber opera, Raising Icarus, which explores the harm parental expectations and aspirations can have on their children. It's staged by the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group this week.
The People's Orchestra open their doors to anyone in the West Midlands who wants play in their orchestras or sing in their show choirs. Being inclusive is part of their DNA. There are around 11 million people with a disability in the UK - that's over a fifth of the population - but they are hugely under-represented in the music industry and in music education. So, are we ignoring many talented musicians who don't fit the standard mould? Disabled musicians face challenges like finding and buying the right instrument, accessing lessons and finding opportunities to perform. There are still concert halls in the UK where a musician in a wheelchair can't access the stage. Strictly Come Dancing's first deaf contestant, actor Rose Ayling-Ellis is changing perceptions around deaf performers and British Sign Language. How can we make the music industry a more level playing field for disabled musicians? Katie finds out when she chats to Klara Filip from The People's Orchestra; Andy Sandham founder member of The People's Orchestra and music teacher in Birmingham; and acclaimed musician and conductor, Charles Hazlewood, founder of Paraorchestra, the world's first fully integrated orchestra of professional disabled and non-disabled musicians. https://thepeoplesorchestra.com/ https://paraorchestra.com/ Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

The murder of Stephen Lawrence in 1993 and the subsequent police investigations threw up a lot of questions about institutional racism and corruption within the force. Another enquiry which began in 2006 was led by DCI Clive Driscoll, who decided to go right back to basics and investigate the crime anew. In a new three-part drama on ITV, Steve Coogan plays Driscoll and Hugh Quarshie plays Stephen's father, Neville. We speak with them both about the murder, the trial, the enquiry and what a drama like this can add to our understanding of a tragedy. Conductor Charles Hazlewood created the Paraorchestra 10 years ago, and in their first year of public performances they already ticked off playing at the 2012 Paralympics closing ceremony. It's the world's only large-scale ensemble of professional disabled and non-disabled musicians, which tackles the traditional and not-so-traditional. Charles Hazlewood and musician Tilly Chester explain the orchestra's past and future, and why Paraorchestra is such an important ensemble in today's musical world. The first series of dramedy Back To Life aired a couple of years ago, to wide spread acclaim. A new series has just begun on BBC3. Conceived, written by, and starring Daisy Haggard it tells of a woman who has just come out of jail after serving an 18 year sentence for murder. She returns to live in the town where the murder happened, trying to get on with her life: reestablishing relationships, suffering the derision of neighbours and avoiding confrontation. The new series launched last night and Daisy joins us to discuss writing a very dark comedy. Presenter: John Wilson Producer: Simon Richardson
Welcome back to another episode of the Talking Classical Podcast. This week is Anti-Bullying Week. It’s a week organised by the Anti-Bullying Alliance every year since 2004 that aims to raise awareness of bullying among children and young people and to emphasise ways we can tackle it and respond to it positively. Over the last few years on Talking Classical, we’ve explored a range of issues that are affected by bullying such as mental health and racism. I felt that it was important to address these issues with regards to the classical music industry and the solutions artists, practitioners and senior staff have implemented. Last month, I spoke to distinguished British conductor, broadcaster and TV presenter Charles Hazlewood. In May 2020, Charles appeared as a castaway on the iconic Radio 4 programme Desert Island Discs, where he took the opportunity to talk openly about his childhood experiences. Following an unprecedented response after this appearance, he'll be hosting a special commission entitled Beethoven and Me, which will be shown on Sky Arts in December. This programme not only celebrates the 250th anniversary of the birth of Beethoven but is a deeply personal look at the life of this composer through the lens of one of his signature works, the 5th symphony, exploring how this famous work reveals Beethoven’s experiences such as child abuse, deafness and potential autism. In this podcast, Charles will be talking to us about this documentary, his appearance on Desert Island Discs and his own experiences of recovering from childhood trauma. He talks about his experiences of the lockdown period and recent governmental debates and perceptions surrounding the creative industries and the viability of freelance musicians' work. He also discusses the act of being vulnerable and open, and shares some encouraging and motivating advice for anyone who’s been through similar experiences. This podcast discusses themes that may be of a sensitive nature so if you are affected by any of the issues, please seek help or talk to someone - there are some links below for hotlines and organisations you can access for advice and support. Thanks so much to Charles for taking the time to talk to me amidst his busy schedule.

Today's guest deejay is Jonathan Ammons, a journalist, radio producer, and musician living in Asheville, North Carolina. You can find his music on Bandcamp and listen to his radio show from WPVM and Pacifica Radio Network at the Dirty Spoon. Jonathan is yet another amazing person I was introduced to through my old friend, Steve Howard (listen to Steven's SOUNDWAVE mix here). Meeting Jonathan is one of the unexpected pleasures in the evolution of SOUNDWAVE. I launched SOUNDWAVE to help cope with the stress of the pandemic. In the first few months of COVID-19 it seemed that stepping outside your house might kill you. If that wasn't terrifying enough, my family was scattered about the country so for a long time it was just me and my dog. That took a toll on me and my usual distractions, music, reading and television, could not hold my interest at all. In fact, they annoyed me or angered me. The only thing that provided any comfort was ambient, classical, experimental and instrumental music. I reasoned that if that music was giving me solace it might help others as well so I launched SOUNDWAVE. Very soon afterwards I decided to invite the talented people I know who might enjoy or, more importantly, need to share a mix of their own. And that very quickly led to asking my friends who they knew personally who might want to participate in the show. That decision introduced me to such wonderful people as Adrian Utley, Hannah Peel, Charles Hazlewood and Jonathan. I don't really know Jonathan, though. We've just had a few email exchanges arranging today's show but through his mix I feel I know him more intimately than I might know him through a dozen conversations. That's all projection, of course, but that is the power of music. It bypasses the rational and hits on emotional truths, which is why I launched SOUNDWAVE in the first place.

Our guest deejay is Hannah Peel. Until a few weeks ago I wasn't familiar with Hannah and had only become acquainted with her when I asked SOUNDWAVE guest deejay, Charles Hazlewood, who he knew personally that might be interested in sharing a mix on the show. Charles put me in contact with Portishead's Adrian Utley and Hannah Peel. Adrian's mix was lovely and Hannah's mix is no less so. On today's show Hannah will take you to some very surprising places and she begins her mix with a track from Joni Mitchel. So unexpected! You're in her capable hands so enjoy the journey. I know you're going to love today's show. As I said, I was unfamiliar with Hannah but I've been getting up to speed. And you should, too, because Hannah's music is also unexpected. Her songs can be delicate and achingly familiar. She''ll paint impressionistic music with swathes of sound but will also delight you with covers of pop songs from the ‘80s performed on music boxes. I catch myself singing Soft Cell's “Tainted Love” constantly thanks to Hannah. Join us again next week when our guest deejay will be Jonathan Ammons.

Charles Hazlewood is a musician, composer and orchestra conductor and I came across him during the first month of the lockdown while catching up on some documentaries I've been eating in to watch. One of the documentaries was Tones, Drones and Arpeggios: The Magic of Minimalism where Charles goes in search of minimalism by exploring the work of four great American composers who rebooted classical music in the 20th century.

Charles Hazlewood is a conductor and the founder of Paraorchestra, the world's first professional ensemble of disabled musicians. Once described as the Heston Blumenthal of orchestral music, Charles has spent his career challenging Britain’s musical palate, exploding boundaries and expanding our ideas about what an orchestra can be - and do. His repertoire encompasses Beethoven, Bruckner and Barry White, and his critically-acclaimed projects include more than 100 world premieres and the first orchestral headline performance at Glastonbury. Paraorchestra, the ensemble he established in 2011, reached a global audience at the closing ceremony of the 2012 London Paralympics. He also co-founded an opera company in South Africa, and its production of Carmen, with a mainly black cast, won international acclaim. He studied music at Keble College, Oxford and was the Organ Scholar there. He won the EBU conductor's competition in 1995 and has had an international career as a conductor.

Antony Gormley talks to Tom Sutcliffe about his forthcoming major show at the Royal Academy. The sculptor returns to his enduring interest in the inner dark space of the body and the body’s relation to its surroundings. As well as the famous casts of this own figure, seawater and clay fill one gallery, evoking the depths from which life emerged. The award-winning playwright Laura Wade discusses her revolutionary adaptation of Jane Austen. Her new play, The Watsons, is based on Austen’s unfinished novel, and shows what happens when characters threaten to break free from the original work and take control of the drama. The conductor Charles Hazlewood celebrates the rebellious side of classical music – minimalism. Minimalists in the 20th century, like Steve Reich and Terry Riley, flouted conventions and sought to redraw musical boundaries. But the music was also a direct response to the political and social fervour of the 1960s and 70s. One of the most creative and hedonistic periods of British culture was the nineties: the era of Cool Britannia, born in Thatcher’s Britain and flaunted by Tony Blair.
