Take advantage of four free consultations while you are at the League’s National Conference in Atlanta. Specialists from the National Endowment for the Arts will offer individual consultations about music and arts-education funding. Interested in today’s music? A private meeting with a representative from EarShot, which is devoted to the support of new American orchestral music, will enhance your orchestra’s work with contemporary composers. How best to cope with constantly changing electronic media? The League’s electronic media consultants, Michael Bronson and Joe Kluger, will be available at the Conference to advise you about strategic or practical electronic media issues. Visa and tax rules are some of the most complicated concerns confronting orchestras, but a free, individual consultation with an expert immigration attorney will help clear up questions about visas and taxation for foreign guest artists.

Appointments will likely fill up before Conference, so sign up now. To reserve an Electronic Media consultation, contact jkluger@artemedia.com or mconbrio@mindspring.com. To reserve a free, private consultation concerning the NEA, new music, or tax and visa issues, contact nlee@americanorchestras.org.
