During the past year, a cohort of American orchestras has been collaborating to study audience attitudes about returning to live concerts. Key questions they are exploring include: 

• How can you best navigate the labyrinth of information about venue safety?  
• What messages are you sending to people who aren’t ready to come out yet?  
• How can communications build or reinforce the trust that your patrons have in you? 

Join Alan Brown, principal of WolfBrown, for a 60-minute presentation on the latest findings and a Q&A with cohort members. Gain fresh insights from their ongoing research, with a focus on patterns of demand recovery, conditions for return (including attitudes about mask requirements and vaccinated-only admittance), and digital participation. Alan will also demonstrate how League members can access a dashboard with aggregated data collected in this study. The research will continue through November 2021. 

Learn more about the Audience Outlook Monitor (AOM), one of the League’s COVID-19 data partnerships. 

Speakers: Alan Brown, Principal, WolfBrown; Siggi Bachmann, Senior Director of Design and Creative Services, New World Symphony; and Daniel B. Grossman, V.P. of Marketing, Nashville Symphony
