The Tessitura Network Inc., the leading global provider of enterprise software technology, services and learning community for the arts and cultural sector, announces that the Celebrity Series of Boston is a new user of Tessitura Software®. Currently, thousands of professionals at arts and cultural organizations rely on Tessitura to better serve their patrons, donors and communities in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States.
After an extensive search, the Celebrity Series of Boston chose the Tessitura system because it seamlessly integrates a myriad of relationships and tasks for arts and cultural management. The Celebrity Series presents world-class performers from around the globe in a variety of performing arts disciplines, including classical music, orchestras, instrumentalists, vocalists, early music, choral music, chamber music, jazz, popular and folk music, ballet, modern and folk dance, and theatre. It also operates a nationally recognized Arts, Education and Community Program, which works in collaboration with schools and community organizations to introduce young audiences to the performing arts.
Tessitura Software provides a unified platform for all departments within an organization to manage customer relationships, ticketing, marketing, subscriptions, fundraising, memberships, reporting and Web transactions. “The Tessitura system is everything we hoped it would be,” says Michael Botte, CFO of the Celebrity Series. “We fully expect it to be an organizing and energizing force within our company for years to come. I consider it an excellent investment.”
Jack Wright, director of marketing and communications for the Celebrity Series, adds: “The process of implementing Tessitura alone has generated new ideas and approaches to our business. We are already making significant leaps forward. Tessitura’s implementation team has been extremely professional, responsive and efficient.”
