Loyalty and longevity in audience listening: investigating experiences of attendance at a chamber music festival

There is currently much concern amongst arts organisations and their marketing departments that audiences for classical music are in decline, yet little research has so far investigated the experiences of long-term listeners for insight on audience development and retention. This paper presents a case study of the Music in the Round chamber music festival, conducted over a three year period which included the retirement of the host string quartet, the appointment of a new resident ensemble, and associated changes in audience attitudes and priorities. The interaction between individual listening and collective membership of an audience is discussed, and the potential considered for understanding classical concert-goers as ‘fans’ or ‘consumers’

Mobile library and staff preparedness

The provision of access to information and effective delivery of information services is central to the role of librarians. Mobile technologies have added another dimension to this role – one that requires new knowledge, skills and competencies to ensure the needs and expectations of users are met. If libraries are to be successful in developing services for mobile technologies, their managers will have to consider two significant staffing issues. Firstly, it is important to understand what knowledge, skills and competencies are needed by staff to enable them to deliver services through mobile technologies, and secondly, to use that understanding to provide support and training for staff in the use of mobile technologies. In order to explore these issues and to contribute to the planning and professional development in the mobile library environment, a survey was undertaken of librarians working in the vocational education and training (VET) sector in Australia and New Zealand

Pier Luigi Nervi, modern technology for classical typology.

This paper investigates around the figure of Pier Luigi Nervi (1891-1979). Perceived mainly as an innovative structural engineer, Nervi has been arguably the most important Italian designer of the post-war period. This article is founded on the necessity to update the knowledge on the substantial contribution on Architecture from the Engineers. The timeliness of this research is apparent when one considers, for example, the 2005 RIBA Gold medal awarded to the Engineer Frei Otto. In this perspective, Nervi needs to be re-considered under the new light of his design-process, which had the most apparent outcome in the structures for the Olympic Games in Rome, 1960. An account of which is traced in this paper. Through historical comparisons, this paper shows how important were the influences of contemporary and historical context in which Nervi designed these sport buildings
