If you are a Symphony magazine subscriber, the new Fall issue is on its way to you now. But for those of you who can’t wait to get your hands on the latest content, the magazine can now be read online here. The new issue throws a spotlight on video-game music and its astonishing impact on pops programming, as orchestras seek to engage today’s visually oriented audiences. We also draw lessons for orchestras from the story of a historic agreement between the Ford Motor Company and the United Auto Workers, trace the evolution of program notes as they embrace printed programs, websites, and apps, and reveal the impact the continuing recession is having on orchestras in Europe.
