What can we do better? A Panel on Diversity & Equity in the Arts

The Signet
46 Dunster St, Cambridge, MA

Even as music and performing arts organizations have made efforts towards inclusion, many organizations still struggle to make their programming more diverse and equitable. By bringing together a range of stakeholders – music critics, administrators, artists, and activists – this panel seeks to examine the various cultural and structural realities that have impeded progress and explore ways of creating a blueprint for a more equitable future.

Panelists:

· Jeremy Eichler, Classical Music Critic, The Boston Globe

· Marti Epstein, Professor of Composition, Boston Conservatory and Berklee College of Music

· Zach Sheets, Development Director, Talea Ensemble

· Rajna Swaminathan, Improviser-Composer / PhD Candidate in Music (Creative Practice & Critical Inquiry), Harvard University

· Moderated by Todd McNeel, Media Coordinator, Boston Lyric Opera

Free and open to all who would like to attend. Desserts will be served.

Co-sponsored by Academic Ventures at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study and the Talea Ensemble.
