Help Wanted Part 4 – the Futurists who Went Back to the Future
We are told that a good business person or entrepreneur anticipates what the market, or their audience will need in advance. Success and $$ comes their way because of the their (psychic?) ability to see into the future.
Venue presenters, concert promoters, orchestras, and other arts institutions have always looked for ways to attract younger audiences, but it’s the futurists that have discovered ways to serve the young – really young – audiences.

*Sound Impact (Founded by Danielle Cho and Tiffany Richardson)
“A women-led organization, Sound Impact takes music outside of the concert hall and into schools, juvenile detention centers, and international destinations to connect, engage and empower youth through the power of music.”
“Project 440’s mission is to teach young people how to use music as a pathway to forge opportunities for themselves and ignite change in their communities.” It’s a space where “youth find their way, ignite their creativity, envision their future, and discover the joy of service.”
