Orchestra Management: Models and Repertoires for the Symphony Orchestra [Kõva köide]

"Symphony orchestras are confronted with a huge challenge: how to replenish their audiences by attracting new generations? In Orchestra Management, Arne Herman looks at different models of symphony orchestras from a European comparative perspective, providing insight into their business models and corresponding programming policies. This publication is a significant and unique contribution to this very critical debate about the future of symphony orchestras." Annick Schramme, Academic Director Master Cultural Management, University of Antwerp, Belgium

"Orchestra Management provides very useful information, evidence-based through a variety of case studies, that helps to understand the complexity of current legitimacy issues in orchestras. Focusing precisely on the causal link between models and repertoires is both innovative and insightful. Highly recommended reading for orchestra managers and programmers." Janneke Slokkers, Freelance Artistic Manager, The Netherlands

This book shows how organizational models can shape the artistic programming as well as approaches to urgent issues such as the development of new programming formulas, ageing audiences, and income diversification. In times were competition for funding amongst organizations increases, this book is likely to become a reference in the literature. Practitioners in the field of classical music and scholars of arts management will greatly benefit from the cases presented in this volume and from its extensive bibliography. Carlo Alberto Petruzzi, Arts Management Network
