Pragmatized aesthetics: the impact of legitimacy pressures in symphony orchestras

Tijdschriftbijdrage - Tijdschriftartikel

This article explores the balancing exercise between opposing value regimes in symphony orchestras. This complex environment in which art organizations move while producing art will be mapped out in a model called a biotope. In recent years, orchestras have been struck hard by declines in the cultural sector. As a result of opposing legitimacy pressures in todays symphony orchestras, standardized canonical repertoire now serves as a pragmatized aesthetic compromise. This article suggests that although this compromise grants short-term legitimacy to the art organization, it simultaneously brings its biotope out of balance, reinforcing the legitimacy crisis it was meant to avert.
