Just look at film, music, graphic arts, etc. etc…we also see a change in the cultural entrepreneur who creates the new markets here at the Global Center for Cultural Entrepreneurship. We must decide how to engage technology in our new economy, and that is where the innovators and entrepreneurs come into play.

More people listen to classical music in their cars than anywhere else. I believe that orchestras need to embrace, not fight, the digitization of their work and be open to different formats of performance. For example, I have been presenting concerts for more than 5 years in MMPORPGs (virtual reality). Right now existing union contracts and hall contracts make it extremely difficult for orchestras to offer 1 hour concerts for example. While the dust settles I believe community orchestras (non-union) will be the lifeboats of classical music in many places, while a few key professional orchestras will attract the support they need, pulling that support away from less valued orchestras.

It’s worth noting that the Seattle Symphony is not on strike.

Generational change impacts on so many aspects of the arts sector. It is also a serious concern of many organisations who rely on volunteers as well. An article that considers the ways that young people can be motivated to engage in arts and cultural organisations as volunteers in order to replace the ageing volunteer would be very well received.
