Orchestral Music Survey
The purpose of this survey is to test for underlying patterns with those who enjoy classical music/go to orchestral concerts and those who don't.  In addition, there are several questions regarding how performances could be different (ranging from etiquette to repertoire), which could theoretically be used to make programming decisions.

Thanks in advance for filling this out.
