 Good Communication
Without a continual sharing of relevant information, ideas, and challenges, it is impossible to maintain
an effective support
system for the people engaged in community missions.
Once again, as it applies to students or other participants, principles of good
communication enable them to feel like
active and valuable members of the orchestra’s constituency. Part of the mission of any “outreach”
program is to expand
and strengthen the bonds people in the surrounding community feel with the Symphony. One of the
stereotypes of
symphony orchestras is that they are for and about a very selective and traditionally unwelcoming small
section of the
population. As cultural ambassadors for this beautiful and meaningful art form, each of us must
work to create an
atmosphere of inclusion and respect at every level.
