| Abstract: | Program decisions by symphony orchestra management are influenced by various factors. To examine these factors, we create
an objective index of the propensity of a symphony orchestra to perform the standard repertoire. We use regression analysis
to examine factors that influence programming decisions of 64 US symphony orchestras in 2006–2007, including public and private
sources of funding. We find that increased funding from ticket sales, endowments, and local government increases the likelihood
that an orchestra will perform nonstandard repertoire. In addition, the results suggest that a symphony orchestra’s music
director does not have a significant impact on the degree of program conventionality. |
