Choose from six Orchestra Toolbox sessions
There is no scheduled free time in the Delegate Lounge/Exhibit Area for delegates, but expect some light traffic at this time. You are invited and encouraged to attend one of six Orchestra Toolbox Sessions including:

Best Practices in Successful Partnerships
Forging relationships with people inside and organizations outside of your orchestra is key to building support and reaching new constituencies. In this Toolbox session, you will identify the principles that characterize outstanding partnerships, and find out what works and what doesn’t. Share your own experiences and ideas, too, at roundtable discussions. Speakers

Breaking Through!
How do breakthroughs happen? It’s not just the “lone genius” acting in isolation. Learn how to nurture individual mindsets and organizational practices that create a culture ripe for new ideas and the capacity for successful innovation. Speakers

The Community of Musicians — Musicians for the Community
What needs to be done to provide a really satisfying life for an orchestral musician? How can musicians deepen their roles in audience development and education? What changes are called for from training institutions, orchestra managements, and musicians themselves to create opportunities for ongoing artistic growth and meaningful engagement with new audiences? Speakers

Emerging Strategies for the Online Audience
Orchestras are forging new partnerships to exploit digital technology, aiming to make music available in ways that didn’t exist even a few years ago. Learn how three orchestras are engaging new audiences through digital downloads, making recordings available through iTunes and other online music stores – and what these strategies may mean for you. Speakers

Meet the Press
What is the media’s perception of the “state of orchestras” in today’s world? Getting the attention of the press isn’t easy, and the media landscape, like the orchestra field, is currently undergoing enormous change. Many outlets are shrinking their arts coverage, others are expanding, and new opportunities are appearing. Enjoy a provocative discussion exploring realities versus suppositions with leading arts journalists. Speakers

Straight Talk Between Foundations and Orchestras
Foundations provide not only critical support to orchestras but also offer a unique perspective on the field in the larger context of arts, culture, and changing community priorities. In this Toolbox, you’ll hear a frank dialogue between foundation officers and orchestra leaders about their respective perceptions and priorities. Speakers

5:45pm- 7:45pm

Choose from seven Orchestra Toolbox sessions
There is not scheduled free time in the Delegate Lounge/Exhibit Area for
delegates, but expect some light traffic at this time. You are invited and encouraged to attend one of seven Orchestra Toolbox Sessions including:

Beyond the Hall — The LA Phil Story
Building a great new hall or introducing a new music director can get an orchestra a lot of attention. But how to keep your orchestra in the spotlight beyond that initial burst of interest? Leaders from the Los Angeles Philharmonic share strategies for keeping a positive focus on their orchestra and extending the duration of the news cycle. Speakers

Genre Buster – Conversation with John Mauceri
Programming a season can be a challenge – or an opportunity. In a candid talk, John Mauceri reveals his programming philosophy, which incorporates visual and philosophical principles, and how his approach has attracted large audiences to orchestra venues as diverse as the legendary Hollywood Bowl, Yale University, and the Leipzig Gewandhaus.

Getting to Vision
Keeping the big picture in mind, so that everyone involved works as a team toward a unified goal, is essential to the success of any organization. For orchestras, determining and articulating an overarching vision leads to internal cohesion and renewed energy. Orchestra leaders share their wisdom and practical tactics in this Toolbox session. Speakers

The Price Is Right. Or Is It?
As the cost of doing business escalates, should ticket prices keep pace? How to offer a range of price points so that live symphonic music remains available to anyone who is interested? Is cost a factor when music lovers select concerts? The League shares the latest research on pricing, attendance, and revenue as well as new approaches to ticket pricing.

Strong Board – Strong Orchestra
It’s a simple equation, yet one that’s difficult to achieve: dynamic, insightful boards of directors = successful orchestras. How to get there? An expert in nonprofit governance reveals the steps necessary to building a strong orchestra board.
