North American Orchestral Sector Benchmark Insights: 2024-25 Season 

On 9 October 2025, this webinar, hosted by TRG Arts, revisited the 2024-25 season using data from over 40 North American orchestras and insights into single tickets, subscriptions, and individual donations. It explored the state of recovery since the start of the pandemic and analyzed the impacts of inflation in recent years. Through the data and discussions, participants left with a sense of how their orchestra compared to our benchmarking cohort, trends in audience behavior over the past 12 months, and areas to focus on for future revenue and audience development. The session featured numerous charts and graphs, along with time dedicated to questions and conversations.
