Here’s what’s new with the blogroll: Good Intentions Are Not Enough has a new URL and feed. Still not the most easy-to-type web address, but it’s an improvement over the last one… GiveWell has moved from givewell.net to givewell.org. Feeds should still work for the GiveWell Blog. I’ve removed several apparently inactive blogs from theRead More
Around the horn: Founding Fathers edition
I’m going to be on Rosetta Thurman‘s show on BlogTalk Radio next Monday, July 12 at noon EDT with Colleen Dilenschneider, a graduate student who is the author of a previously-unknown-to-me arts blog called Know Your Own Bone. I’ve been an admirer of Rosetta’s for some time and I’m excited to finally be sort-of meetingRead More
Four Days in Charm City
Whew! I am not sure why seemingly every single arts service organization feels compelled to schedule their annual conferences in June, but it sure makes for a lively travel schedule for schlubs like me. This time around, I was in Baltimore for the Americans for the Arts Half-Century Summit, a much-hyped event indeed. I hadRead More
Three Days in Hotlanta
I’m back up North after spending the latter part of last week attending the joint Chorus America/League of American Orchestras conference in Atlanta, GA, part of a bevy of performing arts conferences this month that also included those of TCG, OPERA America, and Dance/USA. In the past when I’ve done conference wrap-ups, I’ve given moreRead More
Orchestrarevolution.org is taking your questions
The opening session of the League of American Orchestras conference is beginning right now, and it’s being live-streamed at orchestrarevolution.org. I’ve been pretty impressed with the ambitious online engagement strategy that has gone into this event. Visitors to the site can actually vote on the agenda for the session itself, deciding which questions will be discussed among theRead More
Around the horn: World Cup edition
Hi everyone. I’m headed to Atlanta tomorrow to catch the League of American Orchestras and Chorus America conferences. If you’ve enjoyed my recent posts on orchestras, please tune in to www.orchestrarevolution.org tomorrow for the live-stream of the “town hall” event and follow along on Twitter at #orch2010. (I’ll be helping to monitor the Twitter feed,Read More
Listening vs. doing
[originally published at Orchestra R/Evolution] As I mentioned the other day, I think it’s critical that artists put forth their art into the world in a way that reflects their authentic selves. So what does that mean for orchestras? I mean, let’s be honest for a second: aren’t there some, even plenty of orchestras whoRead More
Orchestras and Authenticity
(Originally published at Orchestra R/Evolution) In my last post, I encouraged readers to articulate what they liked about orchestras, so we can have a better sense of what it is exactly we are trying to preserve or pass on to new audiences and future generations. I’ll begin this one by sharing my own answer toRead More
What do (orchestra people) want to fight for?
(Originally published at Orchestra R/Evolution) I’ve intentionally held off from commenting on the (really interesting) discussion until now, because I wanted to see how it developed. And boy, did this discussion start off with a bang of depressing self-flagellation. I tell you, it’s not often one will come to an industry conference and hear peopleRead More
Some news about me; and two events to check out next month
First, some fun news: remember that 20UNDER40 anthology we all heard about last summer, the one that got all those submissions? Well, one of those submissions was mine — and, all these many months later, it’s been selected as one of the chapters! Co-authored with Daniel Reid, who studied arts philanthropy with me in myRead More
