No, I’m not saying that I am the culture orchestra. Really!
Following, so he says, in the footsteps of Daniel Barenboim and his West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, Sir Neville Marriner will be honorary conductor of the brand new I, Culture Orchestra. The new group will bring together musicians from across Eastern European states to encourage better cultural understanding between Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan. New music specialist Pavel Kotla is the artistic director.
