	Greg Sandow -- At the American Symphony Orchestra League
		This organization, which represents the nation's symphony orchestras, had decided to concentrate on contemporary music during its convention, and asked me to speak on a panel on how contemporary music can be marketed.
		There were marketing people from the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Chicago Symphony, and the London Sinfonietta (an orchestra that specializes in contemporary works), along with a newspaper writer from Chicago and Derek Bermel, a quirkily distinctive young composer, who also has a rock band.
		Surely the Chicago Symphony is doing that when it features Boulez as conductor and composer for a few weeks every year, but they also have John Adams in for a residency as composer and conductor.
