Topics include how orchestras connect with their communities; how orchestras balance creativity and innovation with artistic traditions and practices; and what orchestras can learn about changing audience patterns and engagement strategies from looking outside their own industry.

    No conversation about music—-about any art form, for that matter—-gets very far these days without addressing the impact, potential and pitfalls of technology.

This podcast was developed from our October 23, 2011 public Forum.

Few stories are more compelling or influential than that of Gustavo Dudamel, the Venezuelan-born conductor—and now Music Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic—-who found his own pebble-in-the-pond experience in his home country’s visionary music education and social program, El Sistema.
