Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

中国の管弦楽団やそれに所属する職業演奏家は、1960年代音楽活動が制限された困難な時期から改革開放政策を経過しわずか数十年で今日のような活況を呈するまでに発展した。本研究は主には、この急速な回復と成長の経緯を解明するためにインタビューを通じて著書や公的記録に残されていないナラティブを採集するものであるが、この成果は文化史研究や非営利組織マネジメント研究などにおいてより大きな枠組みで実証的研究をまとめる際に参照され得るであろう。コロナ下での楽団経営の調査は当初の目的に含まれていなかったが、中国の音楽産業が新状況に即応する態勢を観察し、当初目的を補完する意義があったと言えるだろう。
