CO-PRESENTED BY

August 21, 2020 10:00am - 11:30am 

The COVID-19 pandemic forced music educating, music performing and music presenting organizations to a temporary standstill, impacting an unprecedented number of people. The Presser Foundation and American Composers Forum, Philadelphia Chapter invites colleagues to share thoughts about resilience, creativity, and programming during pandemic. The five Idea Forums take place between August 12th and  August 21st.

The August 21st session features representatives from Tempesta di Mare and The Philadelphia Orchestra.  

• Tempesta di Mare are on a quest to deliver content with artistic merit with early music performers becoming producers, talk show hosts, video editors, and online tech evaluators.  They figured out how to host a Watch Party on Vimeo and launched a new online series called Tempesta Talks.  They may not have all of the answers, but they are figuring it out!  
• The Philadelphia Orchestra shares their key organizational shifts  and strategies in response to COVID-19. From livestream concerts and new performance videos to HearTOGETHER and online education, The Philadelphia Orchestra continues to innovate and reimagine the season and beyond!
