2020-21: The Resiliency Season

Case Studies of Two Different Approaches

The orchestra field spent the summer of 2020 listening, learning, negotiating, testing, analyzing, soul searching, and innovating. The goal: laying a foundation for a viable future and creating a structure for, if possible, a 2020-21 season.

In this webinar, hear how this planning led to two different experiences at two different orchestras. Leaders from the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and Virginia Symphony Orchestra will share insights from their journeys this summer and what they have learned, so far, from their revamped 2020-21 seasons. This session will include discussions of digital vs. in-person performances, changes to patron engagement, and how approaches to leadership have evolved.

TRG Arts will moderate this webinar and will share insights from its COVID-19 Benchmark Dashboard.
