Philadelphia New Music Group Takes A Turn

Philadelphia Inquirer - 04/02/06

"Philadelphia was once a haven for musical specialization encouraged by low rents, sympathetic academic communities, and generous philanthropic organizations. Artists could concentrate on creating marvelous new sounds that speak to the times and count on audiences to find them - with a little help from a marketing director. Now, with larger organizations claiming more public and private dollars than ever, specialists from early to modern music have to refresh and expand their relationships with local audiences if they aren't to be left behind. How do you do that, though, without losing what you have and who you are?"
