Audience Participation Webinars

Two recent national studies, the National Endowment for the Arts 2008 Survey of Public Participation in the Arts, and the League’s Audience Demographic Research Review, offer statistically reliable national demographic information about audience participation. The findings raise both serious concerns and new opportunities for orchestras. They merit close attention from all who are concerned about the future of orchestras in America.
