■ビジネス英語 Leonard Slatkin 7
＜Listening point ＞
1What is the first things to do when you are keen to explore classical music?
2What advice does Mr. Slatkin give to people who are intimidated by so-called classical music?

Shibata:
Finally, could you say a few words to our listeners who are keen to explore classical music?

Leonard Slatkin:
First thing I would say is get rid of the word classical. Throw that out. Just let's explore the world of music.
We find now that orchestras for example, symphony orchestras, are playing more music from different styles, different genres, films, collaborations with jazz and popular people, work with visual artists, things like that. Much more flexible as performers.
Now I know we like to attach labels to everything. We always do. But the word classical has almost negative connotation for so many people. They see that as dead, white, male, European musicians. That's what classical means to them.
But it's all changing. Now we're in this transition time. We're seeing many more artists who are female. We are seeing more people of different back grounds, different ethnic back grounds as well. different orientations, gender, whatever it happens to be. But it's too soon to what the impact is going to be. It's just starting now.
So, for people who perhaps feel intimidated by the so-called classical music, don't be. Just take time, even it's five minutes of your day. And listen to something. Turn on your radio, go on the internet, do whatever. Find something. There is an expression we all have. “You have to know the rules before you can break them.”　And for us, you have to have heard the music before you can say
whether you like or not. So keep open mind, don't be afraid to experience something different, and you might be surprised how you respond.

Shibata:
That's very encouranging for our listeners.
Well, Leonard Slatkin, thank you for joining me on this program. We look forward to your continued success as a conductor, composer, writer, and educator. Thank you very much.
