The musical experiences they have during these formative years lay the groundwork for a lifetime of musical involvement. What programming and engagement strategies might orchestras use to better reach college students? Learn from new research funded by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. This paper highlights exemplary practices in student engagement, and explores ticketing, marketing, and programming strategies that are likely to surmount the many barriers that stand between college students and a deeper relationship with classical music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background has-coral-background-color\" href=\"https:\/\/americanorchestras.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Student-Engagement-Study.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read the Paper (PDF)<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Findings from the New World Symphony<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>New Ears, New Eyes \u2013 What New Audiences Are Telling Us &#8211;&nbsp;<strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/americanorchestras.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/NWSNewEarsNewEyes.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">PDF<\/a><\/strong><br>The New World Symphony is exploring five performance formats and conducting research with the patrons:&nbsp; WALLCAST\u2122 Concerts, Mini Concerts, Journey Concerts, Discovery Concerts, and Pulse:&nbsp;Late Night at the New World Symphony.
