To support this belief, this thesis examines three chamber music ensembles: The Kronos Quartet, Bang on a Can All Stars, and eighth blackbird. These three ensembles have been successful in areas such as attracting diverse audiences of all ages and consistently performing to near or at capacity audiences, areas where other performing arts organizations constantly strive, yet continuously fall short. This thesis explores the effect that adventurous programming, combined with creative presentation, has in engaging a diverse audience base. 2009-06-09 English text University of Akron / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1240423668 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1240423668 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
