		<description><![CDATA[Here are 10 of the most influential books I read in 2011. This year, my reading list focused around the topics of institutional change, education, leadership, business models, and marketing. Notice that not one of the titles on this year’s list is written specifically for artists. But all are deeply relevant to the challenges faced by this sector in our quickly changing world. I hope you’ll find some of these helpful and beneficial to your own evolution.

		<description><![CDATA[The fact that many American orchestras struggle to survive is no secret. In the past few years, top-tier ensembles in Philadelphia, Syracuse, Honolulu, Detroit, Louisville, Dallas, and New Mexico have cancelled concerts, issued pay cuts, declared bankruptcy, or closed their doors. Reversing this trend will likely require more than savvier social media use, fundraising efforts, or other one-dimensional potions. I recently completed a two-day residency with the NWS focused around this very problem. ]]></description>

While these proposals typically receive serious consideration from some corners, there are others who emotionally shoot them down immediately without any rational thought whatsoever. It seems the closer someone is to a position, the more threatening a fresh [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[These days, when symphony orchestras make national news, the topic is usually not a happy one.  Yet one group has received a very different kind of coverage: the YouTube Symphony Orchestra (YTSO).  Culminating in a performance at Australia’s Sydney Opera House on March 20, 2011, this experiment has generated unprecedented buzz and excitement.
True, when considering [...]]]></description>

Whether your artistic business is a sole proprietorship, a partnership, or a not-for-profit corporation, you need focus to make things happen.  You need to know why you are doing the things that you are doing, otherwise you may steer way off course and not get anywhere.

First off, I have to confess that I’m not a lawyer.  I was the jury foreman once, but don’t think that counts.  So please don’t take my advice and quote me in a court of law.  They would probably laugh anyway.  However, I did start a not-for-profit performing arts corporation in California and [...]]]></description>

Now there’s a bitter cry of despair I’ve heard from many-a-musician.  A good start is better marketing.  But today I propose another solution...

Record label backing. In today&#8217;s world, with major labels quickly going the way of the dinosaurs, don&#8217;t count on this option unless you&#8217;re really famous and have a huge fan base (and are 14 years old).
Grants.  There are some grants available specifically earmarked for recording.  [...]]]></description>
