1 Summary The Music in Communities Network s research agenda includes filling some statistical gaps in our understanding of the community music sector. We know that there are an enormous number of community-based groups out there but we don t know how many people are in them, how often they perform, what music they play, what issues they face, or their demographics. The first in a series of surveys focuses on community orchestras. The results paint a picture of a diverse and creative sector embracing all age groups and playing a wide range of music. Key findings: Over half of Australia s community-based orchestras commission new music or have a member of the group compose for it. While classical music is still the most popular genre, community-based orchestras perform a wide range of music including contemporary, multicultural, baroque, and Australian music. There is great potential for orchestras to discover and try music which they aren t yet playing. 46% of respondents are interested in playing a genre of music which they don t currently play. Australian music ranks highly among genres that orchestras would like to play, if they aren t already. All age categories are represented in at least 85% of adult/all-ages community orchestras. Repertoire Most Preferred Genres Classical music (ie. from the classical period) is by far the most popular genre. 87% of respondent orchestras say they regularly play classical music, 11% occasionally, with a total positive ranking of 98% i. The second most played genre is Romantic music, played occasionally by 74% of orchestras and regularly by 7%. The genre with the second-highest positive ranking, however, is Movie Themes and Popular Songs (89%). The least performed Page 1

2 genre, of the options given, was multicultural music, with the special category of Babies Proms (a style of concert rather than a genre) having the lowest ranking. Of the positive responses (always/often/occasionally/would like to), classical music is the most played style. The rankings of other genres point to diversity across the sector, with a high percentage of orchestras performing non-classical music such as movie themes and popular songs, and 20 th /21 st century music. (Figure 1) Do orchestras want to play other genres? Although only 8% of the orchestras responding to the survey currently play all eight nominated genres and categories, another 22% said they would like to add all the remaining genres that they were not already playing, ranging in number from one to four additions. Another 24% made a mixed response, indicating that they would like to add some new genres but were not interested in some others. This left almost half of the orchestras (46%) saying they had no wish to play genres other than those played currently. (Figure 2) What do they want to play more of? Only Classical and Romantic avoided any no responses, these genres had some blank or don t know responses but none stating that classical or romantic music aren t played. Of the responses stating that the orchestra doesn t currently play a genre, Australian music ranked equal highest among the genres that orchestras would like to play (50%), alongside Movie Themes and Popular Songs. A smaller number of the orchestras not playing baroque, early music or multicultural repertoire would like to do so. A large percentage of orchestras said they would like to play a Babies Proms program. As figure 1 shows, 20% of orchestras already performing this style of program. A further 28% said they don t but would like to, 30% are not interested and some don t know. Page 2

3 Where do orchestras find their music? The most used method of accessing music is purchasing music (87%), following by hiring from a publishing company (65%), then hiring from Symphony Services International (54%), and exchanging with other orchestras ii (52%). Fewer than half of orchestras use other methods listed. However, the positive rankings of each method varied from their actual use, indicating that some orchestras are interested in methods they are not using, some are using methods to access music which they would prefer not to. The Australian Music Centre has a much higher ranking than its actual use, indicating that more orchestras would like to use its services, while purchasing music has a lower positive ranking than its actual use, indicating that some would prefer not to purchase music. (Figure 3) In addition to the sources of music listed, community orchestras told the Music in Communities Network that they also use the State Library of QLD, Victorian Music Library, Tertiary music school libraries, and the internet. One website mentioned a number of times, the International Music Score Library Project (imslp.org), which publishes scores and parts for out of copyright works. Commissioning music The survey asked whether the orchestra commissions a composer to write music, and whether a member of the orchestra writes music. In total, 54% of orchestras use at least one of these methods. 28% commission music but don t have a member of the group compose for the group, 11% have a member compose but don t commission, and 15% use both methods. The positive ranking is much higher; 76% of orchestras would like to use at least one of these methods (26% commission, 13% have a member of the group compose, 37% both). Page 3

4 Therefore, there is a considerable overlap of interest in commissioning music and having a member of the group write music, and a considerable amount of interest in performing new music which is not yet being realised. Participation, Concerts and Rehearsals Based on respondents, Australia s community orchestras have an average of 44 members, rehearse 39 times per year and perform an average of 7 concerts per year. The value of volunteer hours in an average community-based (non-youth) orchestra could be estimated at $122,000 for performances and rehearsals alone iii. While the exact number of community orchestras in Australia is unknown, a conservative estimate of adult communitybased orchestras nationwide would put the value of volunteer contributions from the community orchestra sector at approximately $10-12 million each year, not including youth orchestras or the substantial additional work of volunteers managing these orchestras. This estimate relies on the assumption that the sampling was representative of the total number of Australian community orchestras, and that the response was well distributed among the different types and sizes of orchestras. It is fair to assume, however, that individual community orchestras make a valuable contribution to their local communities. Age of Orchestras Most Australian community-based orchestras have been running for over 20 years. While there are still new orchestras being created, the rate of closure seems low. Clearly these groups are well established in their communities. (Figure 4) Page 4

5 Age of Members All age categories are represented in at least 85% of adult/all-ages community orchestras, and 70% of community orchestras include young people under 18 iv. This supports an often-stated assertion that community music is one of the few activities in which young and old can participate in a level playing field, to borrow a sporting term. It is inclusive. As such, mentoring and skills exchange can happen within and between the age groups, based on musical skill rather than age. The vast majority of youth orchestras have musicians above and below the ages of 18, while a small number (27%) include only one age group or the other. In adult (typically all-ages, not youth-specific) community orchestras, most have participants from all or most age groups. The age group least represented in adult community orchestras are the under 18s (represented in 73% of orchestras), although participation for young people appears to be strong through the youth orchestras. (Figure 5) Page 5

6 How many orchestras are there? The survey itself was not able to determine how many orchestras we have in Australia. This is a question ripe for further research, perhaps by canvassing local government cultural officers, for example. Our estimate is that there are between community-based orchestras in Australia, but there could be well over 200. In 2010, Anne Cahill estimated that there were 78 community orchestras and 33 community-based youth orchestras in Australia. v The Music Council is aware of approximately 79 community orchestras and 53 youth orchestras, although in some cases (particularly youth orchestras) we know that several ensembles operate under a single organisation but have not calculated these additional ensembles as separate orchestras. We began this research with a list of 179 orchestras but in the process approximately 40 of these could not be found online. We cannot be sure how many of the 40 not found have closed and how many are simply not found online; another piece of research suggests that 25% of community music groups have no website, which suggests that some orchestras not found online may still exist. vi If we work from the various lists and other sources known to us and extrapolate from the population figures for each State and Territory, we are prepared to say that our best estimate of the number of community orchestras nationally in Australia is 147. We base this on 6.55 community orchestras per one million people vii. Again, taking into account the fact that some of the lists are a little old, we have come up with a range of Page 6

7 Appendix 1: About the Orchestras Survey Hans Hoegh-Guldberg, Editor, Music in Australia Knowledge Base, 20 June 2012 The survey, as stated on the Music in Communities Network website, viii was intended for orchestras in Australia, particularly the members of the former Orchestras in Australia Network (TOAN). The project was concerned with two things: 1) repertoire and 2) a profile of community orchestras in Australia. The sampling was therefore designed to attract what is known as community orchestras though not necessarily clearly defined. There is a slightly blurred distinction between community and professional for example, Wikipedia when accessed on 20 June 2012 listed 37 Australian orchestras (see page of that name), which included the major symphony and opera orchestras, other professional orchestras, professional chamber music groups, university-based groups, and others. From their website descriptions I independently identified seven of the 37 listed by Wikipedia as community orchestras. ix While some blurring undoubtedly remains, it is reassuring that every one of these seven orchestras were included in the sample. There is an internal MCA estimate that there may be community orchestras in Australia. Not all of these could be identified for the survey. Because one of the main sources was the former members of TOAN, an organisation that has been defunct for some years, some of these members may no longer exist or may have changed their name. The original sampling list of 179 reflected this, as 40 couldn t be found, leaving a sample of 139 including orchestras who had agreed to be on the Music in Community Network and to be surveyed. Eliminating four surveys appearing twice in the completed sample, the final response was 54 yielding a response rate of 40%. This is a very decent rate. Furthermore, all but five responses were from community-based orchestras classified as either adult/all ages or youth outside school, indicating the right targeting. One orchestra classified itself professional, two semi-professional (which could get close to being community-based anyway), and there were two school orchestras. The vast bulk of the sample, in other words, was genuine community orchestras as intended in the survey design. In conclusion, while a sample of about 50 is on the small side, limiting the scope for highly detailed classifications, this initiative has to be hailed. Furthermore, it was based on a professionally designed survey form, designed in cooperation with the research organisation Survey Monkey. Finally, the patterns revealed by the survey results in Alex Masso s report are highly plausible. Page 7

Options: text box i 2% didn t respond to the question ii The Orchestras of Australia Network (TOAN) developed a scheme to facilitate orchestras exchanging music. The network no longer exists but anecdotally the Music in Communities Network is aware that some continue to use connections made through TOAN, and orchestras would support a new version of the scheme. The survey did not specifically ask about the National Music Lending Scheme. iii The Economic Value of Volunteering in South Australia, accessed 13 June Using 2010 rates, p8 iv For this section, only community-based, ie not school-based or semi-professional/professional, were included. We have separated adult/all-ages and youth orchestras for these calculations, as indicated. v Cahill, Anne: Australian Community and Youth Orchestras the State of Play. Prepared for the MCA Classical Music Summit (2010). 0the%20state%20of%20play.pdf vi Community Music Online, preliminary research by Alex Masso, February Unpublished. vii Population statistics: Australian Bureau of Statistics ( accessed 24. Average orchestras per million of population are 6.6 (NSW), 4.8 (VIC), 7.5 (QLD), 3.7 (SA), 1.7 (WA), 9.8 (TAS), 5.4 (ACT), 12.9 (NT). Average of all states and territories = This rate, extrapolated to a national population of 22,482,200, provides an estimate of Orchestras. In some states and territories (QLD, TAS, NT) we know there are more orchestras than this average rate per million. viii ix Interestingly, a Victorian orchestra in its website nominated itself as one of ten community orchestras in Victoria which suggests that further detective work may yield many additions to the list (who does a particular type of community orchestra regard as its peer groups, as from other viewpoints there would be more than 10 community orchestras in that state?). Meanwhile, the results of this initial survey appear to be very realistic. Page 9
