What can organisations learn from a symphony orchestra? According to Dominic Seldis, surprisingly much. In this inspiring keynote, Dominic, Principal Double Bass of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam, takes the audience behind the scenes of a world-renowned symphony orchestra. Drawing on his unique experience, he shows how every instrument has its own role, but something truly exceptional only happens when everyone listens to each other and works together. With humour, energy, and interaction, Dominic translates the dynamics of an orchestra into practical lessons on teamwork, leadership, and collaboration within organisations. The keynote also includes a surprising moment in which participants experience what it is like to conduct for themselves. Live music with a pianist and, of course, Dominic on double bass adds another layer to the session. The result is an energetic and inspiring keynote that makes classical music surprisingly accessible while offering valuable insights for any organisation.
What does music do to our brain, mood, and energy? In this interactive keynote, Dominic Seldis uses his accessible and humorous style to show how music affects us and how we can consciously use its power throughout the day. Which music helps reduce stress? What should you listen to when you need to concentrate? And which music gives you a boost of energy? Through relatable examples, live music, and interactive moments with the audience, Dominic demonstrates how the right music at the right time can make a surprising difference. An energetic and accessible keynote where music, science, and entertainment come together.
