Abstract Details

2009, Master of Arts, University of Akron, Theatre Arts-Arts Administration.
This thesis argues that the ongoing creation and performance of contemporary music is both vital to the cultural identity of the United States as well as an important instrument in developing audiences for classical music organizations. To support this belief, this thesis examines three chamber music ensembles: The Kronos Quartet, Bang on a Can All Stars, and eighth blackbird. These three ensembles have been successful in areas such as attracting diverse audiences of all ages and consistently performing to near or at capacity audiences, areas where other performing arts organizations constantly strive, yet continuously fall short. This thesis explores the effect that adventurous programming, combined with creative presentation, has in engaging a diverse audience base.
