“What happens when you combine a level of discovery with familiarity? Thierry Fischer, the music director of the Utah Symphony, says it leads to a larger, younger audience in the concert hall. ‘I do believe that discovery is part of knowing yourself better," he explains. "There are other things which can do this as well … but this notion of sitting in a hall with a community and listening to your orchestra is something which means a lot to me and I am aware of what we can help and serve: the notion of beauty, of possibilities and my programming is entirely devoted to this notion of discovering.’”
