Every issue of Symphony, the League of American Orchestras’ quarterly magazine, reports on the critical questions, emerging trends, and news of the orchestra world. The latest edition of the magazine is no exception, with wide-ranging coverage of how orchestras are coping with the unprecedented impact of the global health crisis. Articles include an overview of the situation as it evolved, an in-depth report on how orchestras are adapting, and a look at orchestra livestreams from the viewer’s perspective. This issue lists resources and assistance from the League of American Orchestras during the pandemic.
Also in the new issue: how orchestras are celebrating the centennial of the 19th Amendment with commissions by women composers, and an examination of the ways that orchestras are addressing climate change. A special section highlights the myriad music festivals that bloom every summer.
Subscribers, please note: The print edition of this issue of Symphony arrives somewhat later than usual. Our apologies for that. As the scale of the pandemic evolved, it became clear that accurate coverage of its impact on orchestras required new articles, new analysis, new resources, new information—which required additional time.
