MusicPlus: Kirill Karabits

Thursday, October 29, 2020

Kirill Karabits, chief conductor of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, speaks to Classical Music from lockdown in Paris about the impact of Covid-19.

The lesson we’ve all learned from the pandemic is that an orchestra has to serve its community and get its support from the local community. If you look at orchestras that have strong relationships with their audiences, they are doing much better than orchestras that rely on touring and guest visits.
