On September 18, on the Stirbey estate, we were greeted by a red carpet and the secret of a show that was about to begin. In the applause and looks of everyone, the violinist tunes the whole orchestra. The conductor appears in front of everyone and greets the entire hall, which welcomes him with applause.
As in any classical music show, mystery prevails, and “Carmina Burana” is the most suitable for such a show. Under everyone’s gaze is a story created by the delicacy of the violin, the sensuality of the cello, the contrast of the trombone, the perfect complement of the percussion instruments, the fine touch of the clarinet, all accompanied by the voices of the “tenors” and “sopranos” and guided artistically and professionally by a conductor full of of energy.
The coordination between the team members and with the other teams could be observed. The team’s mobilization and spirit played a very important role because the learning process was accelerated: for an hour and a quarter they learned to sing “Carmina Burana”.
Indeed, a real show supported by Top Management of Coca-Cola HBC Romania – 150 people, 7 instruments and a team that shared the same vision.
The whole process that the participants went through was truly impressive: from the shock of the news that in less than two hours they will learn to play a musical instrument, to the passionate and dedicated interpretation of a famous piece of music . An orchestra is one of the most representative team experiences, from the initial emotion to the closing creativity, the teams and tutors manage to create an impactful experience.
At the end of the entire performance, a murmur could be felt throughout the venue: “It was excellent!”, “I can’t believe how quickly I learned!”, “Who came up with this idea? It was something unique!” and the enthusiasm grew.
“The Orchestrate event was a truly unique experience for the top leaders of Coca-Cola HBC Romania. When you think of an orchestra as a metaphor, this is the complex illustration of a team performing together. You see dozens of people playing very different instruments and the result is beautiful and perfectly synchronized. Many people use this metaphor but few have the opportunity to put it into practice. When you listen to a symphony, it seems very difficult to copy this experience.
What we did was to follow a few steps: we learned to hold the tools and try to use them. Then we listened to the advice of some professional musicians who taught us in simple ways how to bring the instruments to life.
When the time came to sing together, we were surprised by how far we had come in such a short period of time. None of us even expected to be able to sing like an orchestra. Of course, we weren’t perfect, but we performed as a team and this result in itself was inspirational for all of us.
For me, this experience is similar to what happens in business – many times we are faced with goals that seem impossible. The Orchestrate experience gave us confidence that it is possible to achieve results that at first seemed unattainable.”
(Jaak Mikkel, General Manager Coca-Cola HBC Romania)
