| Abstract: | Program decisions by symphony orchestra management are influenced by various factors. To study these factors, we create an objective index of the tendency of a symphony orchestra to perform the standard repertoire. We use regression analysis to examine factors that influence programming decisions of 64 U.S. symphony orchestras in 2006-2007, including public and private sources of financing. 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 imply that a symphony orchestras music director does not have a significant impact on the degree of program conventionality. |
