"The Steve Jobs of classical music." — Observer | Author: Run It Like A Business (2024)

Classical music is Aubrey's vehicle to make the world around her better, through marketing and audience development tactics on the forefront of trends and technology, through programs that champion social justice and equality, and through proving and sharing what works in the rapidly changing landscape of funding, philanthropy, and consumer behavior.

Praised for her leadership which “points the way to a new style of audience outreach,” (Wall Street Journal) and which drove the California Symphony to become “the most forward-looking music organization around” (Mercury News), Bergauer’s ability to strategically and holistically examine and advance every facet of the organization is creating a transformational change in the audience, in the office, on the stage, in the community, and is changing the narrative for the classical music industry.
