標題[Talk] BSO responses the Boston bomb
時間Wed May 1 10:12:26 2013
Boston Symphony Orchestra hanged a banner on the street, to response the
tragedy happened several weeks ago:
“This will be our reply to violence: to make music more intensely, more
beautifully, more devotedly than ever before.”
--Leonard Bernstein
I do have some thoughts, not related to Boston bomb though.
What causes violation? There must be a trigger like a poverty gap, uneven
educational levels, high unemployment rate or stagnation, and so on. Can
music really impair those social problems, or just heal the people who afford
expensive concert tickets?
I don’t mean that Boston Symphony Orchestra doesn’t serve the poor.
However, no matter how loudly you blow your horn, if it doesn’t connect the
people, it cannot offer a real healing power to the society. Contrarily,
music becomes a label of social class.
No offense, Mr. Bernstein.
