About Eminence
Eminence is about changing the perceptions of symphonic music.
It is about opening orchestras up to a wider audience, challenging
the notions of classical music and reviving its popularity.
Eminence is a doorway and opportunity for skilful young musicians
who can’t find work without going overseas. Eminence is
what is needed in today’s music industry.
Eminence, where are they going?
Eminence has their sights set big and has the talent to press
ahead. Their big debut concert was performed in Sydney, Australia
for A Night in Fantasia 2004, and plan to go nationwide and
perform International tours to Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan
(and possibly Japan) in the near future.
Eminence not only wishes to help out talented young musicians,
but also to revitalise the currently state of orchestras and
symphonic music. They wish to encourage more people to get out
and see live music that they haven’t heard before on the
radio. However starting up will not be easy, especially for
an organisation that isn’t a purely profit making exercise,
so Eminence is constantly looking for sponsors who wish to help
them achieve their aims.
The Vision
The aim of this new-wave contemporary Orchestra is to inject
something bold, dynamic and fresh, into something that’s
slowly losing its general appeal.
We wish to challenge ideas of what orchestral music is all about,
by aligning it to something familiar to younger audiences. We
want young people to really “hear” orchestral music.
We believe in the strength of this music and that younger people
will really connect with it.
Classical music must not be left to languish in dusty corners
or to be appreciated only by an older demographic. It needs
to find a new face and be aggressively showcased into expanded
genres and permutations in order to capture a larger audience.
This said we do not want to limit our audience to young people,
only to encourage them to join in as well as to expand the audience.
We feel passionately that young people must move away from TVs
and Computers and get out and listen to ‘live’ music.
This music can be a catalyst for younger people to explore symphonic
music in more depth and appreciate it better.
This is not to devalue Bach and Beethoven, but take the best
from the past, build on it and position it in a contemporary
setting. This is the Silverchair of Classical!
Like the Beatles, creating musical history is about breaking
new ground, doing what hasn’t been done before.
Eminence Symphony Orchestra is the last beacon of hope in an
otherwise dismal symphonic orchestra climate. We will revive
symphonic music in Australia with its awesome power of contemporary
programming. |
