Brott's interactive and dynamic, fun presentations allow audiences to play a part in making music under the direction of a famous and accomplished symphony conductor. Thousands of people across corporate America have participated in Brott's lively presentation where he draws comparisons between business organizations and symphony orchestras. As he outlines in his talk, both have common goals and each must perform in harmony to achieve those goals, both attempt to be innovative and creation, and each continually strives for perfection.
During his presentations, Brott contrasts teamwork and leadership, explores the need for creativity within an organization, and addresses the joy of communication and the achievement of success, all while exploring these concepts through the medium of music.
Playing Together
During his 25-minute presentation, these analogies are enhanced with slides and video. The audience hears of Beethoven′s struggle, his quest for perfection...brief passages from some of Beethoven′s best known works. Then, it′s time to play together...
Boris instructs the audience to reach under their chairs where they will find a tonebar — a musical instrument with a mallet. The audience has been divided into five specific notes. After "rehearsing" and enjoying the levity and excitement, the audience is prepared to play Beethoven′s Ode to Joy. Boris turns to the video screen, gives a signal, and a full symphony orchestra begins to play. At the appropriate point, he turns to the audience and "conducts" them in this informative, educational, and fun-filled presentation. The audience is thrilled to be playing a signifant part and to make music under the direction of a symphony conductor. Audiences and corporate executives find it a memorable and unique presentation.
Variations on "Playing Together":
- A live orchestra joins Boris on stage. Musicians and their instruments are introduced. A short musical example is played. This repeated until an 11-piece orchestra is formed on stage.
- The meeting′s host joins Boris in conducting the audience and/or explaining the similarities between their organization and a symphony orchestra.
- Each script is tailored to suit the meeting′s theme or message.
- Specific concepts germane to the organization are brought out in the script.
- The presentation′s length is suited to the requirements of program.
- Mr. Brott can act as host through the duration of the meeting.
Alternate Presentation
In addition to the "Playing Together" presentation, the following other concept can be presented to your audiences:
"Lighting the Creative Flame"
Creativity rests in all our souls. This presentation demonstrates five steps that are at the heart of every creative process. Boris interacts with "Professor Siegfried" on screen, and together they take the audience through the steps necessary to concoct anything from E=MC2 to an enlightened business plan to the perfect Christmas party.
This is an interactive presentation involving the meeting’s host as well as the audience. But the heart of the piece rests with Boris and Professor Siegfried taking the steps necessary to "light the creative flame." After each step, Boris "conducts" the audience playing their tone bars, and concludes his presentation with a roaring rendition of the music from Star Wars.
