Micro and Macro Experiences of Performers, Audiences, and the Melbourne Recital Centre
Conference Contribution ResearchOnline@JCUAbstract
In Australia, opportunities for musicians to earn income from chamber music performances are limited yet require musicians to develop skills in communication well beyond the art of performing music. Drawing on case study data collected from chamber musicians performing at the Melbourne Recital Centre, the micro (interpersonal) and macro (organizational/cultural) experiences between professional chamber musicians, venues and audiences are explored in terms of a series of transactions. Both specific and subtle transactions shape the motivations, planning and execution of ensemble performances. While stakeholders have different and varied experiences, their transactions contribute to the virtuous cycle of the embedded environmental, social, cultural, material and technological factors and the actions afforded that constitutes chamber music performance. The ‘art of ensemble performance’ seems to be a distributed process, dependent on critical interdependent transactions amongst all stakeholders.
