Orchestras are acting with new urgency to broaden and grow audiences and engage more people within their communities. With its theme of “Dream Big!,” the League of American Orchestras’ 79th National Conference, June 6-8 in Houston, will explore all the ways that orchestras are dreaming big to ensure the artform thrives and is accessible for all. The Conference will showcase new ways to deepen relationships with audiences and communities, forge pathways to financial sustainability, creatively use AI, increase diversity and inclusion on and offstage, grow artistically, and invite the voices of the next generation to help shape what comes next. Hosted by the Houston Symphony, the League’s 2024 Conference will provide three days of learning, networking, and music. Learn more and register at https://leagueconference.org/.
