商品描述
This book explores how democratic decision-making can transform orchestras, which have long been governed by top-down authority. Rooted in early twentieth-century organizational models, orchestras have thrived under centralized control, creating a global industry after 1945. However, this approach has left musicians with limited influence over key decisions, from repertoire to conductor selection. Through case studies of player-governed orchestras (PGOs), the author reveals how shared control reshapes traditional power dynamics, empowering musicians to take part in both artistic and managerial choices.
A vital resource for musicians, conductors, arts managers, and researchers in organizational studies, this book offers critical insights for modernizing orchestral governance. It is particularly useful for those leading or forming orchestras, as well as academics studying participatory management, labor relations, or the arts sector. Readers will find practical strategies for sustaining democracy in traditionally hierarchical institutions.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書探討了民主決策如何改變長期以來由自上而下的權威所治理的管弦樂團。根植於二十世紀初的組織模型，管弦樂團在集中控制下蓬勃發展，並在1945年後創造了一個全球產業。然而，這種方法使音樂家在關鍵決策上影響有限，從曲目選擇到指揮的選擇。通過對音樂家治理的管弦樂團（PGOs）的案例研究，作者揭示了共享控制如何重塑傳統的權力動態，使音樂家能夠參與藝術和管理的選擇。
這本書是音樂家、指揮、藝術管理者和組織研究學者的重要資源，為現代化管弦樂團治理提供了關鍵見解。它對於那些領導或組建管弦樂團的人，以及研究參與式管理、勞動關係或藝術領域的學者特別有用。讀者將發現維持傳統層級機構中民主的實用策略。
作者簡介
Brian Long is a lecturer in arts and cultural management at the University of Melbourne (Australia). After early work as a freelance orchestral musician and conductor, he began a research and lecturing career in 2008. The move led to research in political science, orchestra management, and the creative industries.
During a ten-year stint working in Vienna, Brian first encountered the player-governed orchestra model in the Vienna Philharmonic and was intrigued by the mix of benefits and challenges it created. This interest grew into a multi-year research project across Germany and London where he interviewed orchestral musicians and managers at the forefront of workplace democracy in professional orchestras.
He has previously written on the political contexts of postwar German film and cultural diplomacy and contributed to the Directory of World Cinema Germany.
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
布萊恩·朗（Brian Long）是墨爾本大學（University of Melbourne，澳大利亞）藝術與文化管理的講師。在早期擔任自由職業的管弦樂音樂家和指揮後，他於2008年開始了研究和講學的職業生涯。這一轉變使他開始研究政治學、管弦樂團管理和創意產業。
在維也納工作十年期間，布萊恩首次接觸到維也納愛樂樂團的玩家治理管弦樂團模式，並對其所帶來的各種好處和挑戰感到興趣。這種興趣發展成為一個跨越德國和倫敦的多年研究項目，他在該項目中訪問了專業管弦樂團中工作場所民主的前沿管弦樂音樂家和管理者。
他之前曾撰寫有關戰後德國電影和文化外交的政治背景的文章，並為《世界電影目錄：德國》（Directory of World Cinema Germany）做出貢獻。
