Music dorks rule

We're not entirely sure how this is going to work out, but she's ready to film answers to your questions, so send them our way! I even set up an exciting new e mail account for the occasion: questions@firstchairpromo.com. Happy Birthday from us to you, Arnie.
Twenty fan questions will be selected and posted here at 12:01 am and throughout the day on September 13th. So don't expect any blog posts on the 13th, team.
Please note, this may be the dorkiest pursuit I have ever been involved with (other than, you know, becoming a classical music publicist...and Photoshoping a hat on Arnold Schoenberg), but as Hilary once assured me, "Music dorks rule!"

About
Life's a Pitch Why don't we apply the successful marketing and publicity campaigns we see in our everyday lives to the performing arts? Great ideas are right there, ripe for the emulating. And who's responsible for the wide-reaching problems in ticket sales and audience development? Boring artists? Greedy managers? Overstretched marketing departments? We're beyond debating who owns the problem. Let's fix this thing.
