Innovations forum

Everyone wants that next great idea. And that great idea could already be in place at an orchestra near you! From marketing to programming to fundraising to relationship-building, America’s orchestras are testing creative new ideas every day.

Welcome to the League’s Innovations Forum—a place where member orchestras can share ideas, programs, tactics, and strategies on a whole host of topics. Some of these ideas may still be just a dream, others may be variations on a familiar theme, and some ideas may rock your world. We invite you to take a look at the noteworthy ideas your colleagues around the country are considering and implementing.  

The ideas posted here are culled from a variety of sources—from what we observe in action, from member meetings, from online discussion groups, and from what we hear from you. Do you have comments or refinements to ideas that you’d like to discuss with others? Is there a topic you’d like addressed in this forum? Is your orchestra doing something new? Send in your innovations so we can share them with your colleagues across the country: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
