"If a composer could say what he had to say in words he would not bother to say it in music."
Gustav Mahler
"Orchestras, if they are to survive, must learn to surprise. They need new kids on the conductor's block and new works on the players' stands where it is no longer enough to shuffle the pages of old favourites. New music is neither optional nor a luxury. It is the only commodity that will keep the symphony orchestra alive and in tune with the times."
Norman Lebrecht
"Music demands more from a listener than simply the possession of a tape-machine or a transistor radio. It demands some preparation, some effort, a journey to a special place, saving up for a ticket, some homework on the programme perhaps, some clarification of the ears and sharpening of the instincts. It demands as much effort on the listener's part as the other two corners of the triangle, this holy triangle of composer, performer and listener."
Benjamin Britten
