The Future of Classical Music - Part 1
Cost: $15 (includes sales tax and fees)
The classical music industry faces many challenges. For it to survive, we need to start having conversations on what the future looks like and how we get there. This book exists to be a starting point for those conversations. It’s for those who are curious, questioning the status quo, and wondering what the future of classical music may look like.
The Future of Classical Music - Part 2
Cost: $15 (includes sales tax and fees)
The digital age has radically accelerated change and disruption in our society. New technology has touched all aspects of our lives, and the digital world has fundamentally changed how we interact with each other and what consumer behaviour is like. And yet, the classical music industry has not only failed to acknowledge how radical and disruptive a time we are living in, but is also systemically resistant to change. As a result, we often find ourselves far behind the rest of the world and the societies we live in. This book exists as a call to action. It is for those trying to bring about change in an industry that resists the inevitable.
