Dear,
Sorry for the delay. I'll try to be essential; I don't provide agency services at all. _Because the market allows us neither to cover pure expenses nor to earn something decent. That is mathematics. Over the last two decades, the system has changed a lot. Instead, I can improve your system of self-promotion, including any type of communication.
I remain available for any questions.
Best !
Massimo
Dear Jean - Francois,
I need a bit more time to answer you. Anyway, I am sure you are totally capable of finding concerts by yourself. My speech was based on other aspects. I will be writing to you later.
Grazie a te
Massimo
Caro Massimo
So far, almost all by myself, I conducted 855 concerts. Some very important, with seasoned professional orchestras, some less important with all kinds of orchestras.
But always with the same passion.
The best way to get engagements is generally through other people. If I write to an orchestra, they probably do not even read my letter and I get no answer. But if recommended by an important person, I may get an engagement.
Money is not important for me (yet I need some as everybody and you know how hard it is to earn money as a musician).
But what is important is to conduct and I am ready to share the money we earn, for instance 50-50 per cent with the people who get concerts for me.
Who knows, you might be the person I need !
Grazie mille.
JF
Caro Jean-Francois,
Thank you for your message. I understand your desire very well, and that is typical of musicians, and, of course, totally right. I'm a musician, too. Generally speaking, I can do what you need. Anyway, I didn't work through the fee; I know the market very well, and as you know, it is plummeting. At least the traditional market. Nowadays, it is necessary to design something specific which can meet the political interests. For example, social development and social cohesion. The territories are looking for something different from the traditional market we are used. I don't think that it is appropriate to insist on old logic. New rooms are open, and new spaces are going to be open. Even mutual exchanges are in crisis, but because politicians are not so available to put the right amount of money into the traditional musical entities. My suggestion: keep your dreams and your desire, but try to understand a new way to promote yourself.
I remain available for any debate.
Best regards
Massimo
Caro Massimo
Nice to be in touch with you.
I have only one desire : get more engagements as conductor with fine orchestras.
Can you be efficient in that field ?
All the best to you.
