This is the third webinar of a 3-webinar series.
Audiences are increasingly looking for organizations to demonstrate environmental values. At the same time, concertgoers themselves can play a crucial role in creating positive change. In this third free webinar, our guest experts on sustainability in the cultural sector, Julie’s Bicycle, will explore the tips and best practices to successfully communicate, and engage your audience on, environmental topics. The practical guidance will help your orchestra deepen its connection with the community, bringing you closer to your audience as you work together to meet the challenge of reducing environmental impacts.
