How do you bring music lovers back to live concerts when they have a multitude of technological choices available to them in the 21st century? One solution is to turn concert halls into architectural wonders that demand to be experienced. Sara Fishko reports on the new Frederick P.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
