The Association of British Orchestras and Symphony Services Australia invite you to join us over four mornings in September for a special online orchestral symposium. Featuring speakers from both the UK and Australasia, panels will naturally focus on the new landscape for orchestras post-COVID. But we will also look beyond the pandemic, to ways in which orchestras will remain relevant and thrive in the future.
Overview
Week 1: Surviving and Thriving – Wednesday 8 September, 9am-10:15am
Sharing the challenges and successes of orchestras across the world, examining national/international touring, changes to fundraising and philanthropy, and evolving audience attitudes.
Week 2: Inclusive Orchestras – Tuesday 14 September, 9am-10:15am
Examining diversity and inclusion on and off the stage and dissecting meaningful programs that have demonstrated real impact.
Week 3: Music That Reflects Us – Wednesday 22 September, 9am-10:15am
How do orchestras meet the challenge of programming music that audiences want to hear, while also reflecting our people and our time?
Week 4: Now More Than Ever – Tuesday 28 September, 9am-10:15am
More than ever before, education, outreach and community are vital to the survival of orchestras – what can we learn from each other?
