OrchTapRoom

"Tapping" into new ideas and ways of thinking about American Orchestras and taking those uninhibited conversations that often happen at the bar to a new level.

[OrchTapRoom @OrchTapRoom]

You've thought about what excellence is. You've considered what could happen if we shift our priorities. What is one big step orchestras need to take to elevate creativity and participation as priorities?

"To do nothing means no change in our audience or how we serve them!"

[Aubrey Bergauer @AubreyBergauer]

Look, running an orchestra is really hard. Our problems are also hard and they require hard solutions. A full-scale, end-to-end remodel to break down silos is no easy solution, I know. But as I say in the talk, “To do nothing means no change in our audience or how we serve them.”

"The arts are a direct force in rural innovation, not just an indirect factor that helps to attract and retain talent." https://t.co/CDsjoKtzBF h/t @citylab

Break 👏 Down 👏 Silos 👏. This is a part of the talk I just gave at @OrchLeague Conference this week, and @McKinsey nails it here. https://t.co/WevxQJoHju @McKQuarterly 1/

Congratulations to these orchestral musicians who received the LAO's Ford Musician Awards for 2019! @OrchLeague @ISOmusicians @NYPMusicians @LOMusicians

[OrchTapRoom @OrchTapRoom]

We should definitely talk about this.

[Gerry Heise @gerryheise]

Conference speaker tip: don’t ask how many millennials are in the room, see that half the room is comprised of millennials, and then proceed to bash millennials. Yikes. Made for a rough presentation recovery. #Orch2019

[OrchTapRoom @OrchTapRoom]

Thank you to everyone at #orch2019 who contributed to the #OrchTapRoom idea board throughout conference and to those of you who also participated online. We look forward to keeping the rich conversation going. #onward #whatsontap @orchleague #teamorchestra

@OrchTapRoom @OrchLeague Realize what the orchestra can do to compete with other forms of entertainment. Do some music styles test markets and "trials" to see what people like and/or dislike. They do it with food all the time. 😆

[John Saunders @JohnSaunders18]

@OrchTapRoom @OrchLeague We musicians of the orchestra would love to hear, like Bach, music lovers would walk 200 miles to see a new style or genre.

“It’s so interesting, the things we measure express the things we value.” —Shea Scruggs on this fantastic panel on Auditions, Identity, & Culture

He is talking research, data, and (lack of) taxonomy in the field. I have met my match and am dying I am so happy. #Orch2019

[Deanna Badizadegan @deanna_bdz]

@OrchTapRoom @OrchLeague Speaking as a musician -- when you ask for our ideas about programming, marketing, etc., don't stop there...actually try some of them & use data to measure whether or not they work

[OrchTapRoom @OrchTapRoom]

Good morning #OrchTapRoom peeps and #orch2019! Share your thoughts from conference or any thoughts that might have been spurred by topics here this week! 💭💡📝👇🏻🎶

[OrchTapRoom @OrchTapRoom]

Instead of asking if something is artistically excellent, what if we ask “do you believe in this?” #orch2019

[Aubrey Bergauer @AubreyBergauer]

“The message was not ‘You need Mozart in your life,’ it was, ‘I need you in my Mozart.’” —Alex Laing, Principal Clarinet at @PhoenixSymphony on inviting his friends and networks to his concerto with the orchestra
He stuck the landing on this keynote. #Orch2019

[League of American Orchestras @OrchLeague]

We’ve just issued a major announcement: @OrchLeague President and CEO Jesse Rosen will retire from the League in September 2020. Our Board has formed a Recruitment and Selection Committee: https://t.co/AMZX2AMPG4 #orch2019
