Elliot Schreiber, Ph.D., executive director of Drexel LeBow’s Center for Corporate Reputation, was recently quoted in a BBC Radio news story about the Philadelphia Orchestra’s recent financial struggles. “If [Philadelphia] can’t afford good schools, can it afford to have symphonies? I think our society would be depleted without the arts," Schreiber says. "But by the same token you have to wonder whether the market is just saying keep the symphony, but maybe you can’t be world-class anymore.”
