A letter from our Executive Director, Katherine Carleton<\/em><\/p>\n

Dear members,<\/p>\n

In the last four weeks a wave of cancellations has spread across the country in the wake of lockdown measures to contain the spread of COVID-19. Every one of our approximately 130 member orchestras has been affected.<\/p>\n

It has been nothing short of inspirational to see the adaptability of Canadian orchestras who are now creating more online content than ever. Orchestras Canada has also increased our level of online activity to support our members going through these unprecedented challenges. We know that orchestras are stronger together than they are alone, and we have been expanding and adapting our four mission pillars to help orchestras respond to the current crisis.<\/p>\n

Convening<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"Over the last month OC has convened online meetings with a number of stakeholder groups to exchange information, ideas and to design collective responses to the current shutdown. We have held meetings with orchestra CEOs, youth orchestra leaders, personnel managers, and with groups of marketing and education staff. We\u2019re making plans to continue and expand these meetings. Let us know what you need.<\/p>\n

Advocacy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"Our advocacy committee has been hard at work assessing the best way to approach federal government decision-makers and make them aware of orchestras\u2019 needs. We\u2019ve written a letter to several government ministers,<\/a> and are encouraging our members to share the letter with their local MPs. For obvious reasons, we\u2019ve focused on emergency short term measures. We\u2019ll continue this, even as we consult with you to develop re-launch and resilience strategies for Canadian orchestras.<\/p>\n

Knowledge-sharing<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We are issuing frequent updates to our members with news that directly affects the arts sector, as well as resources and tools to equip you to respond to the current situation. We\u2019re also happy to share your initiatives and triumphs. You can read these updates on our COVID-19 page,<\/a> or by signing up to our email list.<\/a><\/p>\n

Research<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"So far we have run two surveys that have measured the immediate impact of the COVID-19 shutdowns on our members, and have reported back with some initial insights from our statistician, Steve Smith. This data collection is an ongoing process: while we\u2019re aware that you\u2019re being approached we\u2019ll be collecting and analyzing further data.<\/p>\n

I encourage you to take a look at what we\u2019ve been up to, and encourage you to get in touch with us to share resources, brainstorm ideas, or just to check in. Take care,<\/p>\n
