Knight Foundation and 15 American Orchestras: Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra Charlotte Symphony Orchestra Colorado Symphony Association Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall Fort Wayne Philharmonic Orchestra Kansas City Symphony Long Beach Symphony Association Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra New World Symphony Oregon Symphony Association The Philadelphia Orchestra Association Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra Symphony Society of San Antonio Wichita Symphony Society © 2002 Audience Insight LLC Page 1 Classical Music Consumer Segmentation Study Final Report ABOUT The Study Abstract Orchestras are adrift in a sea of classical music consumers who rarely, if ever, attend live orchestra concerts. With more than 25,000 interviews with potential classical consumers and orchestra ticket buyers in 15 cities, the Classical Music Consumer Segmentation Study offers a sweeping view of an art form in transition and an orchestra field increasingly detached from its potential customers. The study paints a detailed picture of how consumers fit classical music into their lives — listening to classical radio and recordings in their automobiles and homes, and attending live concerts in churches, schools and traditional concert venues. Roughly 10 percent to 15 percent of Americans have what might be termed a close or moderately close relationship with classical music, and again as many have weaker ties.

  • Beethoven's Fifth Symphony
    NOTES ON THE PROGRAM BY LAURIE SHULMAN, ©2017 Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony ONE-MINUTE NOTES Beethoven: Overture to Coriolan. Coriolan is vintage Beethoven: a stormy sonata-form movement in the heroic key of C minor. Jolting chords and lurching accents in the principal theme portray the tortured, indecisive hero. This is Beethoven at his most tragic. Bartók: Piano Concerto No. 3. A kinder, gentler Bartók emerges in the Third Piano Concerto. Nascent neoromanticism blooms in his melodious, folk-inflected first movement. A noble chorale gives way to nature’s night sounds in the slow movement, leading to an exhilarating finale. Beethoven: Symphony No. 5. Fate knocks at the door in symphonic literature’s most famous opening. Beethoven takes us on a journey from struggle to triumph in his magnificent Fifth Symphony. BEETHOVEN: Overture to Coriolan, Op. 62 LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN Born: December 16, 1770, in Bonn, Germany Died: March 26, 1827, in Vienna, Austria Composed: 1807 World Premiere: March 1807 in Vienna NJSO Premiere: 1927–28 season; Philip James conducted. Duration: 8 minutes Beethoven’s overtures vary widely in content and quality. Some are occasional pieces with little dramatic import; others are middle-period masterpieces. The former category includes King Stephen and The Consecration of the House. The latter group is dominated by the three Leonore Overtures and the Overture to Fidelio; plus Egmont and this weekend’s featured overture, Coriolan. What they all share is a connection to staged drama. Beethoven only completed one opera, Fidelio, but we know that he considered several other operatic projects. His Creatures of Prometheus was one of the most popular ballets of the early 19th century.
