The Universe of Sound by MusicUniv-Brhaddhvani, Dec 17 18 19

[seema]

The annual music festival held in Madras every December is legendary. It boasts the maximum number of concerts held anywhere in the world under one festival banner. It also brings together the best in the classical arts in the most accessible way – most of the concerts are free! Hence we created “The Universe of Sound”, a 3-day festival hosted by us at MusicUniv- Brhaddhvani to create an atmosphere of musical possibilities.

[rshankar]

What are the roles of the 'key note speakers', 'animators' and the persons who present the 'conclusion'?

[Nick H]

It's marketing speak.

Never mind: jargon aside, I'm sure that those involved will present lots of interesting stuff.

I'd love to come on the 19th --- but won't be able to.

[VK RAMAN]

MusicUniv- Brhaddhvani - care for their students and for enrichment of CM. These cannot be marketing speak

[ramamantra]

Its verbal jugglery indeed. What is the meaning of 'discussion animated by so and so'? Jus trying to sound different, that's it.

Jugglery aside, care for students has nothing to do with marketing speak. You can care and still do mkt spk.

My point: Nobody can try to enrich CM. It is already rich and overflowing.

[Nick H]

I hate marketing speak; I hate American management jargon; that is without any doubt.

But ... I know these people, at least a little, and they are are very much a part of carnatic music tradition, both in teaching and in presenting. I have been to several concerts presented by them, and some of those have been in conjunction with our own group.

If it is sure that I don't like management jargon, it is a thousand times more sure that I have great respect for Brhaddhvani. I will not be put off by a couple of words, and I request others not to be either

[seema]

Key note speakers will present their views and experiences related to Music Education. Conclusions are for the benefit of the rasikas, we sum up the events of the day keeping in mind people who might have come in late etc.
P.S

The jargons are not to just sound different, they do have a specific role!
