Inclusion and diversity are vitally important for today’s orchestras, but how can this be achieved? Watch the video of an animated discussion on the topic at the League’s National Conference earlier this month, with speakers Aaron Dworkin, founder and president of the Sphinx Organization; Errika Flood-Moultrie, a consultant with Clarkson Davis; and Jessica Schmidt, director of education and community engagement at the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
Also new this week, Allison Eck offers a shapshot of a sweltering June afternoon spent wandering the streets of New York City listening to clarinets, trumpeters, and vibraphonists playing outdoors during the sixth annual Make Music NY Festival. Plus: a British orchestra made up of disabled musicians, and California’s Terrible Adult Chamber Orchestra.
SymphonyNOW is the League’s new, online-only publication, with timely stories about orchestras every week. You’ll find SymphonyNOW on the right-hand side of the Hub homepage.
