Keynote speech delivered to the American Symphony Orchestra League National Conference, June 15, 2000 in Boston, MA

Hilary Hahn was the keynote speaker at the national conference of the American Symphony Orchestra League, held June 14-17, 2000 in Boston. Read about the preparations and presentation of her speech, along with her other activities on the road -- onstage and off -- in her online journal Postcards from the Road.

There's almost no limit to what orchestras could offer children over the Internet.
Kids could use an orchestra website to find a dictionary of musical terms. They could download video clips of local orchestra musicians demonstrating how to play each instrument and giving technique tips.
Kids could follow an interactive instrumental course put together by a musician from their hometown orchestra. They could walk through a "virtual orchestra" while listening to one of the orchestra's recordings. They could also read stories about true onstage experiences, or they could email questions to their favorite orchestra members.
They could send in ideas for what they'd like to see in a concert, write and post their own reviews, and even enter contests to interview famous musicians over the phone or face-to-face or go out to lunch with an orchestra member.

"The keynote speaker was the young violinist Hilary Hahn, 20, whose remarks boasted the same kind of uninsistent charm that characterizes her playing."
-Richard Dyer, Boston Globe, 6/23/2000

"She's a terrific role model for young people in music--as well as for her more mature colleagues. The gist of her talk was that artists need to work as hard as music educators and administrators to make sure that classical music connects with the general public."
-T.J. Medrek, Boston Herald, 6/16/2000
