Greg Sandow on the future of classical music

Bad SF Symphony link is fixed

July 1, 2016 by Greg Sandow

Just a quick note — the link to the San Francisco Symphony press release in my last post has now been fixed. I’ll repeat it here, so anyone who couldn’t get to it, and who’s reading this now, won’t have to go back to my last post to follow the link.

My last post was about classical music publicists, and how they mostly don’t write press releases that can make us interested in what their clients are doing. A San Francisco Symphony season announcement was one of my examples. Sorry for the inconvenience!
