Pittsburgh symphony turns to Kickstarter to help fund NYC show

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: It's going to take more than practice for the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra to get to Carnegie Hall this year.
The PSO on Monday afternoon launched its first campaign on the crowd-funding website Kickstarter. Over the next 47 days, the symphony hopes to raise at least $30,000 to support its participation in the Spring for Music festival, which takes place in May at New York's Carnegie Hall.
"It's definitely the wave of the future, so we're excited to try it," said Jodi Weisfield, vice president of development.
