It’s the season for annual convenings of arts service organizations – and, earlier this month, the League of American Orchestras hosted its annual conference in Atlanta, GA. To prepare constituents for the conference, to engage a broad audience of non-attenders, and to document the discussions at the conference, the League is hosting a highly interactive website here, where you can read blog postings, check out a lively twitter feed, and post your own comments as well.

Hats off the the Association of British Orchestras ,which has just posted a new briefing document that “highlights the extensive range of education work our orchestras deliver in schools and in the community”. “Unlocking Potential: Education and the Orchestra” is “the latest in a series of briefings being produced by the ABO to raise the profile of British orchestras” – and it tells an inspiring story. You can download the document here.
