Navigating Audience Expectations and Preferences

Intentional Musicianship

In this episode, we breakdown a recent study commissioned by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, it was revealed that 76% of adults would be more likely to attend an orchestral concert if there were modernizations to the concert experience. With shorter concerts, more matinee performances, and more interactive elements like 'meet-and-greets' and social media engagement topping the list, it's clear that both new and seasoned audiences are craving a more accessible and engaging live music environment. As musicians aiming for intentional performance, understanding these evolving audience preferences can provide a roadmap for connecting more deeply with our listeners and growing a more engaged fanbase.
