We put together two concerts of our choosing in this coffee break using Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 and Antheil's Ballet Mecanique as the main section. There are a number of factors to take into consideration: What other pieces of music do we include in the concert? Should the music be in the audience's comfort zone or should we challenge them with newer sounds? How do we keep the costs down especially if we are a per service orchestra? Do we have a budget for royalties for new music? How do we market to attract the most attendees? Nothing is easy.
