Activities
The Orpheum Foundation for the Advancement of Young Soloists promotes, documents and publicises the artistic work of young, highly talented musicians from the field of classical music. At the International Orpheum Music Festival for the Advancement of Young Soloists, held every two years in Zurich and Basel, the selected artists are given the opportunity to perform concerts with well-known conductors and orchestras both to an audience and to expert groups, thereby gaining experience at the highest professional level and building up important relationships. Decisions about inclusion in the Orpheum Advancement Programme are taken by the Artistic Director, on the basis of recommendations by mentors who are associated with the foundation.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“That is the real pivot of all bourgeois consciousness in all countries: fear and hate of the instinctive, intuitional, procreative body in man or woman. But of course this fear and hate had to take on a righteous appearance, so it became moral, said that the instincts, intuitions and all the activities of the procreative body were evil, and promised a reward for their suppression. That is the great clue to bourgeois psychology: the reward business.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“There is, I think, no point in the philosophy of progressive education which is sounder than its emphasis upon the importance of the participation of the learner in the formation of the purposes which direct his activities in the learning process, just as there is no defect in traditional education greater than its failure to secure the active cooperation of the pupil in construction of the purposes involved in his studying.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“Justice begins with the recognition of the necessity of sharing. The oldest law is that which regulates it, and this is still the most important law today and, as such, has remained the basic concern of all movements which have at heart the community of human activities and of human existence in general.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
