Title: Composing Capital Condition: New Subtitle: Classical Music in the Neoliberal Era Author: Marianna Ritchey Format: Hardback EAN: 9780226640068 ISBN: 9780226640068 Publisher: University of Chicago Press Genre: Society & Culture Topic: Music Dance & Theatre Release Date: 05/08/2019 Description: The familiar old world of classical music, with its wealthy donors and ornate concert halls, is changing. The patronage of a wealthy few is being replaced by that of corporations, leading to new unions of classical music and contemporary capitalism. In Composing Capital, Marianna Ritchey lays bare the appropriation of classical music by the current neoliberal regime, arguing that artists, critics, and institutions have aligned themselves--and, by extension, classical music itself--with free-market ideology. More specifically, she demonstrates how classical music has lent its cachet to marketing schemes, tech firm-sponsored performances, and global corporate partnerships. As Ritchey shows, the neoliberalization of classical music has put music at the service of contemporary capitalism, blurring the line between creativity and entrepreneurship, and challenging us to imagine how a noncommodified musical practice might be possible in today's world.
