Thats why and its directed by regina king who already has a and she could become the 1st black woman to get a best director. Oscar nomination. What else is hard . A dream . Another ho to contend is no mans land.

It has been released so viewers can find out for himself how it isnt coming out. For much so many artists and institutions have worked tirelessly this year to keep culture alive. And the european cultural brand award recognizes this year, a Youth Orchestra, a state of the art norwegian library, and a Ukrainian Center for urban history to name a few. Lets see who won top prize. An elegy for a cultural scene under threat in an empty hall with no audience or applause. The 15th cultural brand award took place in a tough year for the sector, but a covered safe ceremony was held nonetheless, to honor exceptional cultural providers and investors live strain from the nickel izod in pottstown. We want to make it clear, the culture is still there. Still it hasnt gone silent on them, and culture can still unite people across borders and build bridges over the winner of the main award. Cultural brand of the year is the European UnionYouth Orchestra, the cultural brilliant 2020. And the orica goes to the European Union. You with orchestra only 2 representatives of the orchestra were allowed to receive the award in person violinist money in class and clarinetist thompson, founded in 1960 e. U. Y. O. Is one of the oldest international Youth Orchestras in the world. Its played more than 1000. 00 concerts under the baton of the worlds leading conductors. Always playing it the 1st of the last time they gave ever sing it every moment. So its 100 percent and above at every single that its also very challenging for a conductor. They will never forgive you if you are not giving this 100 percent. The orchestra is made up of europes best Young Musicians each year 160 new members are chosen from thousands of hopefuls from all even member states. Candidates are between 16 and 26 years old and are chosen by a jury in their home country. For talented students. Hes just inspirational. Moves all of us to tears. Places in a world that is very troubled. Gives hope. The orchestra has experienced both highs and lows in its 4 and a half decade history, but the sense of Community Among the members has remained strong. The wyo is like a family, which is one reason why the coronavirus pandemic is hard for the musicians who cant perform or even rehearse together. Winning the 2020 award for best european cultural brand is not just a highlight. But also yet another milestone in the orchestras, long line of successes saw great. I mean we are always putting so much heart and effort into every single project every single day, everything i rehearse and so it feels amazing. I mean, and thats where the people behind it, the management and the board. Everyone is working all year. Not just the products. So yes, its a great we enjoy the evening because these kind of evenings this year up quite rare. So we try to enjoy them. This weekend, so it seems 2020 had at least one pleasant surprise in store for the European Union use orchestra staying with music for now, and one of the most innovative, versatile, and sometimes just plain silly composers around is the comedian head, popper and classical pianist, Chilly Gonzales we met up with him at a studio here in germany. Chile gonzales in his trademark robe and slippers playing one of his piano compositions. The artists quirky breaks with conventions set him apart. While he does respect, Classical Music genres potential for stuffy news is really not his style. Thank you. I. I thanked his performances are provocative, crowd surfing at an orchestra concert. Inconceivable until he just did it. Gonzalez isnt someone who hides behind the music. Hes a showman. I i, i thank all these rules and all these things that limits your kind of spontaneous reaction to what might be happening. Its profoundly unsexy. It is against all the notion of what i think music should be with, should have a strong contrast and emotions under a giant umbrella of fun. And who can respect someone who doesnt want to have fun . I cant and gonzalez has fun experimenting with different genres. Classical jazz rock, you name it, and surprisingly Classical Music is where he finds the most freedom more so than in pop or hip hop. Let me just quickly play a reference to rap song, lets say, still great by dr. Dre. Classical musician would find this to be far too flat. I believe a Classical Musician would say youre missing opportunities to put expression into the music, their version of still dre might be Something Like this comes out and says that the great composers of the past, such as mozart or beethoven, loved to improvise and entertain. Just like he does, thats why he says, we shouldnt treat their works as holy or be honest critique. I think the idea of taste in Classical Music is really problematic because these profits, these old dead white men have really been sort of, you know, projected in to a kind of pantheon of untouchable genius. You cant even decide for yourself if you really like them or not. Really, gonzalez takes whats often seen as a stiff and Old Fashioned john round deconstructs it, and fills it with new life. Is an unconventional approach. Passion for music. You can watch a whole half hour with gonzales on their you tube channel d. W. Classical music. He also talks about his new christmas album, even though he says he doesnt like christmas. And ill leave you now with one of the worlds top art fairs, that almost didnt happen. Art basel, hong kong, normally future is around 250. 00 galleries this year because of the pandemic. Its just 22. 00 here, the artworks that made it to care and cosmopolitan, densely nations relief has never been a sexy as it was in the cool of the twentys.
