"2020 was a year like no other: the pandemic, America’s long-overdue reckoning with race, financial downturns, starkly divided politics. Facing COVID-19 shutdowns and stringent health regulations, orchestras found innovative ways to keep the music playing—even while reexamining their roles in a changing society. As we head into a new year, 21 people in the classical music field share their thoughts on what’s next for 2021." americanorchestras.org/images/stories/symphony_magazine/Winter_2021/Whats-Next-for-Orchestras.pdf?utm_source=MagnetMail&utm_medium=email&utm_term=iravani.music%40gmail.com&utm_content=SYMP%20Winter%202021%20Symphony%20email%20to%20members&utm_campaign=Read%20the%20Winter%20Issue%20of%20Symphony%20magazine&fbclid=IwAR1UOCy4LcIpl5XDSNAtf04Uynhtd_YsZ0kwlPcYiP2sl22O7uplZ9SSXpc  |
