  • Initiators & Responders: Leveraging Social Context to Build Audiences - "Understanding why people attend orchestra concerts is an important first step in regenerating the audience base. The social context surrounding concert attendance – independent of the program itself – is a key to unlocking more demand. While some classical music lovers act on their interest and organize concert outings, three times as many do not. This essay considers how orchestras and other arts groups might capitalize on “Initiators” – people who enjoy creating cultural experiences for their friends and family."  Alan Brown, Issues Brief 4, John S. and James L.
