Welcome to the August issue of International Arts Manager. This month, our cover feature celebrates the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra as it enters a season shaped by Yi, an organising idea that speaks both to grandeur without boundary and to roots that remain open rather than enclosed.
This issue also looks at how organisations are responding to change in practical terms. In APAP’s A View from Here, Lisa Richards Toney makes the case that finding new audiences is not a betrayal of mission, but an expression of belief in it. Communicating the Arts explores how the Royal Ballet and Opera and the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon are giving younger audiences a genuine stake in cultural life, while in CINARS’ Connected Voices, Gilles Doré speaks with Marie-Pia Bureau (ONDA) and Fabienne Loir (Association des Scènes nationales) about reinvention across the French performing arts sector.
