Creating Class Acts
They already love music. With endless playlists on smartphones, they rarely leave home without. The willingness to stand in line for hours for their favorite artists, as loyal concertgoers. Not to mention the discretionary time, heaps of natural ability, and unlimited artistic potential to play, and play well.
Yet youth are still relatively unexposed and remain the untapped market in the world of classical music. And, ironically, they hold the future of great orchestral music in the palm of their hands.
Sarasota Orchestra recognizes it must evolve to engage new generations. With subsidy cuts and audiences becoming more diverse, a new era has begun where the Orchestra must engage the younger generation rather than waiting for them to find us.
Once we reach them, they are our most receptive participants. The Orchestra is committed to transforming the classical music experience into a youthful medium, where children and teens don't replace their pop music with Mozart, but add him to their playlists.
