Robert J. Flanagan explains the tension between artistic excellence and financial jeopardy that confronts most symphony orchestras. He analyzes three complementary strategies for addressing orchestras' economic challenges-raising performance revenues, slowing the growth of performance expenses, and increasing nonperformance income-and demonstrates that none of the three strategies alone is likely to provide economic security for orchestras. 606 $aSymphony orchestras$xEconomic aspects 606 $aMusic$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aSymphony orchestras$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aMusic$xEconomic aspects. 676 $a784.2068/1 700 $aFlanagan$b Robert J$0115095 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910968174103321 996 $aThe perilous life of symphony orchestras$94361100 997 $aUNINA
