It is a bit of a mischaracterization that I implied that one composer is better than another, however the whole point of my post is to bring to your attention the DIFFERENT approach the venerable Chicago Symphony Orchestra and their music director Riccardo Muti have decided to take. They are taking major works out to the general public in these free concerts performed at the most professional level (the mountain comes to Muhammad).



I hope it works. I also hope other major symphonies around the country are watching this example as closely as the CSO itself.


Yeah, but what works in Chicago or New York might not work in Cincinnati or Houston--to say nothing of Raleigh or Birmingham. Every city has different audiences, who in turn have different tastes and concert-going habits. Big new- music concerts might do well in New York but turn off more traditional audiences in Houston, for example.

I think one of the more interesting ensembles in terms of outreach is the New World Symphony. Check out some of the stuff they do (which includes movie music...).
