What are the steps in the planning process?
Your organization selects the date and venue, and then determines the approximate number of executives. If you have a multi-day event, we'll help you determine where in the overall agenda would be the optimal time to place The Music Paradigm. Once those factors are in place, we will then hire the orchestra. Within a reasonable amount of time prior to the session, conversations between the client sponsor and conductor will be held to discuss goals, overall themes, and your context so a session can be custom designed to powerfully reinforce the overall message.
The Music Paradigm staff handles all of the arrangements associated with the musicians. There are certain meeting facility considerations that must be taken into account, but these are discussed with your meeting planning group in advance. We always work with experienced, professional orchestras in the region where the meeting is being held and with the many years Roger Nierenberg has been presenting The Music Paradigm, he has built up an extensive network of orchestras and musicians with which to collaborate. The number of musicians involved is directly related to the size of your group.
How many executives can participate in a session?
The session can be designed to accommodate groups as few as 25-30 attendees. There is no set upper limit and our sessions have been presented for 500 people, 1500, and larger.
How long does the session last?
Sessions are generally 90 minutes long, without a break. Each session is then typically followed by an in-depth discussion led by Maestro Nierenberg, without the orchestra present, ranging from 15 to 45 minutes.
Can the session be presented in other languages?
Yes, sessions have been presented throughout the U.S., Europe, Asia and Latin America. Sessions are generally held in English, but can be conducted using simultaneous translation into another language.
