Modernizing classical music...

The New York City Philharmonic has not been daunted by new technology. Instead it has embraced it.

Television and the internet has also helped the New York City Philharmonic gained a wider audience. But the New York City Philharmonic was not satisfied; they wanted to increase awareness of orchestra in children as well. In 1999, an interactive website called Kidzone was launched and it quickly became popular, gaining several awards.
