A study by Oliver Wyman, commissioned by the League of American Orchestras

“Customized subscriptions are prospering because the dynamics of choice have shifted in their favor. Customers today want flexibility, personalization, and relationships with vendors. Because of that, choose-your-own options could become one third of all subscriptions by 2017.”

Namita Desai, author of the study and Consultant, Oliver Wyman

About the Study

The study is based on the largest sales data set from orchestras to date and is the first industry-wide, longitudinal study of ten years of data to focus on revenues and sales trends. The League is grateful to the global consultancy Oliver Wyman for the pro bono time, resources, and expertise it devoted to this initiative as well as the orchestras that provided data for the study (page 43) and the working group (page 40) that guided the research.
