In the Orchestra Management Handbook, Travis Newton has performed an extremely valuable service. He has captured a wide range of intelligent thinking about the complex job of managing symphony orchestras in the United States, he has added his own intelligence and synthesized it all in a way that is not only remarkably readable, but useful and practical as well. Anyone interested in orchestra management, or in the health of orchestras in general, should read this book. * Henry Fogel, Former President, Chicago Symphony Orchestra and League of American Orchestras * Orchestra Management Handbook offers a road map to navigate the specialized management needs of orchestras in challenging times.
