Active Listening and Our Perception of Time | Robert Franz | TEDxUniversityofWindsor

Robert Franz has the answer to our struggles with impatience and how we can speed up time. He answers this through the simple action of changing the way we listen. Franz uses music to illustrate the different ways rhythm can alter our own sense of reality. As Music Director of the Windsor Symphony Orchestra and Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival Orchestra, and Associate Conductor of the Houston Symphony, Robert Franz’s appeal as a first-rate conductor and enthusiastic award-winning educator is acclaimed by critics, composers and audiences of all ages. Critics hail his “masterly pace, emphasis and technical control”, calling his conducting “viscerally thrilling”. In his sixth season as Music Director with the Windsor Symphony, Franz was recently recognized by The Windsor Endowment for the Arts with its Arts Leadership Award in Performing Arts. The awards are presented to prominent artists who foster a vibrant local arts community. Recent collaborations include the Windsor International Film Festival, the Art Gallery of Windsor, the Canadian Historical Aviation Association and the University of Windsor. Throughout his career, three basic tenets have guided Franz’s artistic choices: first, a belief that it is by the highest artistic standards that an ensemble will grow and engage its audiences and that nothing attracts the audience to a return visit more than a committed and passionate performance; second, that collaborating and building bridges in the community is an essential part of a conductor’s job; and finally, that the orchestra must be a strong player in education. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
