Introduction
In this Talk, Nan Keeton (former Director of External Affairs, San Francisco Symphony) shares the Community of Music Makers program, which takes patron and community engagement to a new level by inviting audiences to play and sing on their stage. This radical shift requires different behaviors, systems, and modes of working together, and has succeeded in fulfilling a community need by inspiring thousands of amateurs to re-connect with music, and to connect closely and meaningfully with their local orchestra.
