Can orchestras clean up their act?
An explosive new book suggests that orchestral life in New York consists of sex, drugs and drudgery - and not much opportunity to make art.
Elsewhere, the notion of democracy in orchestras remains remote, the engagement with audiences is minute and the idea that permanent ensembles should embrace the modern age is seen as ridiculous and unnecessary.
What attempts have been made to drag the symphony orchestra into the 21st century? Have they worked? Which reform would you like to propose?

Play by Leila Aboulela
Leila Aboulela's play tells the story of 19th-century warrior Imam Shamyl, who united the tribes of the Caucasus to fight Russian colonial expansion.
The Lion Of Chechnya
By Leila Aboulela.
In the 19th century, the warrior Imam Shamyl united the tribes of the Caucasus to fight Russian colonial expansion. Shamyl became a legendary figure and attracted the support of Queen Victoria who feared Russia's increasing power would threaten Britain's interests in India. After an early military defeat, Shamyl was forced to hand over his eight-year-old son Jamal to the Russians. Jamal grew up devoted to Russia and the Tsar. Years later, in an attempt to win the release of his son, Shamyl kidnapped a Georgian princess.

Believing in Nigeria
As Nigeria struggles towards true democracy, religion has become increasingly dominant. Nigeria is one of the most religious nations on Earth, but also one of the most corrupt. In the south a massive wave of Pentacostalism promises miracles and material happiness, while the north has witnessed the tightening of Islamic Sharia law.
Anna Borzello travels from south to north to explore the religious climate of Nigeria. She examines the appalling violence of the middle belt - violence which has been blamed on religion and has cost thousands of lives.
What does this new religious intensity say about the future of Nigeria?
