to whom it may concern!!!
I know the London Musicians' Collective since over 1O years!!!
I'm a 60 year old Composer / Performer who was born in Brooklyn Ny and has presented my works in more than 20 countries these last 40+ years.
Already in the middle nineties the Collective invited me before others after a period that musicians of my generation were forgotten and rarely performed.
The Collective; as has always been their tendency were OUT THERE sniffing / aiding / inspiring / what was happening for the FUTURE
and not just what was easily acceptable from the past and the present!!
They are a unique organisation in England!!!!!!. In many other countries a Collective like yours exists and many countries remain proud and vigilent
to protect these organisations
The difference now in England unfortuately is that London has
become one of the most expensive and chic places in the world an artist of my generation exposing at the TATE MODERN arrives like a KING!!! and the TATE
continues to expand like A TEN STAR HOTEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE LONDON MUSICIANS' COLLECTIVE which is AS important or even mMORE important considering the lack of serious support for works and genres which
are totally parelell with what you present at the TATE are now under threat of EXTINCTION !!!
What does that say about the cultural priorities of your Country and
your cultural Polticians??????????!!!!!!!!!! I write this letter with a deep sadness!!! Can you really justify embracing your rich and properous artists and art scene
and abandon your other
visionaries and geniuses of the future??? I hope not!!! I hope this is just a temporary misunderstanding of a few politicans not well educated about how
the evolution of culture REALLY WORKS and that it will be soon be remedied !!
as it MUST!!!!!!
With great respect and hope for the future of multi cultural directions in Britain!!!
