![]() ![]() ![]() NJ: I think the core problems are, as you highlight, availability and quality. It became apparent that there were actually a lot of very practical difficulties that arose when programming lesser known composers.ĭS: Could you say a bit more about the nature of those practical difficulties? Is it primarily about the quality or availability of performance materials, or something else? and I’d pick his brains about it quite a lot. Not only did this provide me with the opportunity to switch to Dorico, but my boss is a really knowledgeable guy when it comes to notation software, music publishing, etc. Then, before I finished my degree, I started working at the BBC Philharmonic as an Assistant Music Librarian. It just seemed like quite a simple matter – to us – of taking a stand and programming more composers. NJ: I finished my master’s degree at the University of Manchester last year and whilst I was there a number of us would go to orchestral concerts and often whine a bit about the lack of diversity in programming. I recently caught up with Nadim to find out more.ĭS: Can you tell me a little about why and how you started working on Flip the Stem? Together with his colleague Jenny Espin, who also works as Assistant Orchestra Manager at the Hallé in Manchester, Nadim is producing beautiful new performance materials in Dorico and making them freely available, together with live recordings, to help get this music onto the stage once again. ![]() Flip the Stem is the brainchild of Nadim Jauffur, who is an Assistant Music Librarian at the BBC Philharmonic and has seen first-hand the practical difficulties in bringing music from under-represented composers to live performance. But what will we as concert-going audiences emerging into the post-Covid world be listening to? If the team behind a new Arts Council-supported venture, Flip the Stem, have anything to do with it, more of the music we hear will have been composed by women and people of colour. ![]() If you have used Dorico for something interesting and would like to be featured in this series, please let me know.Īlthough live music has been decimated by the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020, there is hope that concert halls and other arts venues will once again be filled with music in 2021. This post is part of a series that aims to shine a light on projects in which Dorico has played a part. ![]()
