The lingering impacts of the Covid pandemic and resulting lock-down continue to present challenges such as smaller audiences and rising expenses to performing arts organizations. A Tempo host Rachel Katz this week speaks with New Jersey Symphony President and CEO Gabriel van Aalst about the orchestra's decision to drop several concert weekends, while adding extra performances to some remaining program weekends, and other ways in which the orchestra is retooling in light of post-Covid audiences and economic factors. The program also includes an interview with former arts administrator Aubrey Bergauer, consultant and CEO of Change the Narrative, about the broader picture of orchestras' post-Covid realities.
