Nationally and internationally, the Symphony reaches another 2 million through touring, recording, and broadcasts on radio, television, and the internet. Its excellence in musical performance and pioneering approaches, particularly in the areas of education and audience development, contribute to its ability to maintain the third-largest and one of the most diverse live audience of any U.S. orchestra.
