Abstract
The focus of United States symphony orchestras post the 2008 recession has generally been negative because of the many organizations enduring financial troubles. However, there are orchestras in the nation that are successful and flourishing through difficult economic times, and it is important to explore their characteristics to better provide other organizations with ideas of working models to aid in those institutions' growth and health, in addition to a sense of hope for the arts sector. Through thorough research and interviews with key employees of three successful symphony orchestras post the 2008 recession ' San Francisco Symphony, Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, and St. Louis Symphony ' it has been discovered that they share many similarities concerning their respective success, most of which falls under the following categories ' leadership, programming, community relations, and related to all of these, fiscal health.
