TL;DR League of American Orchestras is doing important work on many fronts, conference was great and intense, more people do good in this world than the few that behave terribly, I am a lucky duck. League conference was inspiring as always but this one hit differently. It was invigorating to connect with young intelligent feisty hopefuls, and connect/reconnect with those of us who are longer in the tooth and still advocating for meaningful positive change. It marked the official end of the year long Anne Parsons Leadership Program, from which I gained invaluable direct and indirect mentorship wisdom plus a ride or die crew of totally amazing cohort members I’m honored to call friends. This year’s conference also offered an opportunity to continue to shine a bright and unflinching light on the worst of our art form’s antiquated toxic hierarchical operating practices. I was a little terrified to serve as a panelist on Understanding and Addressing Sexual Misconduct in the Orchestral Field. It’s a very serious and very disturbing topic which can cast a pall over a celebratory call to action convening like the League conference but the League and its membership are taking this seriously, so when they came calling I said yes. For obvious reasons of sensitivity to the subject matter the panel session, facilitated by two representatives from RAINN and including the incoming League board chair and AFM head of symphonic services, was not recorded. I gave oxygen to some pretty harsh realities from my broader musician/administrator POV. I won’t be posting that statement anywhere but if anyone is interested in what I had to say I am happy to connect. I’m certain it’s incomplete and this work is just beginning so please school me. Thanks to colleagues near and far for input and raw conversations helping me prepare. HUGE thanks to Team APLP for the unwavering support all week leading up to, and during, that panel. Also huge thanks to everyone at the League for putting together so many wonderful sessions! Themes of inclusivity for lived experiences, divergent thinking, responsible fundraising, community first marketing, bold artistic visioning, and addressing systemic challenges resonated deeply for me. It’s great to be a classical music geek among geeks. Not tagging individuals in this post because it got so personal. Y’all know who y’all are and there’ll be a Tagging Festival in the next one. :)

My article "Listening All Around: What Could the Fluid Conceptualization of Artistic Citizenships do?" was just published in ACT. https://lnkd.in/d53Rg-B4 The article fluidly explores the concept of Artistic Citizenship as a way to expand on questions such as inclusion in the arts, social change through the arts, or criticality in the arts. Please feel free to share it and hope that you find it as inspiring as it was for me to write it!

I've been diving deep into how the SAT's role has evolved, especially since the pandemic. It's fascinating to see its impact on college admissions and scholarships! If you're curious about what this means for our students today, check out my latest blog post. I’d love to hear your thoughts and discuss it with you! https://lnkd.in/gzBJifhf #EducationEquity #CollegeReadiness Music by Discuss: https://lnkd.in/gTyqaufB

A decade ago, pregnant with my first child, I assured my mother that I would produce a daughter who would enjoy lengthy, sedate reading sessions, with the odd philosophical discussion for variety. Whilst I wasn’t astonished to be blessed with two rowdy boys – they run in the family – having been the least athletic child ever, their sport obsession really has been a shock. Unlike my ten year old, I do not believe that my sons are destined to be successive captains of Liverpool FC. Nonetheless, our lives are dominated by a timetable of football practices, athletics meetings, cricket tournaments and swimming events. Why? Well, it has the advantage of wearing them out, I’ll admit, but there is more to it. The discipline. The teamwork. The communication. The opportunity to widen their world view and life experience, meeting children from entirely different backgrounds, navigating disagreements on and off pitch, collectively celebrating and commiserating every victory and defeat. Finding the right clubs for them was a process of trial and error. It is five years since we joined our first community football project for kids aged five and over. They were as terrible as I expected: the stuff sitcoms are made of. But that’s not why it was the first of several clubs that we walked away from. We voted with our feet every time I saw coaches misunderstand the task at hand, focusing on ball skills where they should have started with discipline; building rivalry not camaraderie; criticising and sowing self-doubt where they could have buoyed up a team of eager young boys with encouragement, hope and self-confidence. I don’t expect every child who is given an instrument, or an opportunity to sing, to become a professional musician. That’s not why arts education exists. It is to develop basic life-skills that enable them to engage in class; indeed which make them want to be in school in the first place. It is to put opportunity into a child’s hands. It is to open a door to them, to say that this world, this passion, this excitement belongs to you. It is for you. You are welcome. And by opening up that opportunity, we build life chances. We build personality. Resilience. Confidence. Excitement. Eagerness. We play a pivotal part in developing fully-rounded individuals who will find joy in life and want to contribute actively to communities and society at large. This is why I’m so excited to be part of Gabrieli Roar. In the next 3 weeks we will work with over 3500 teenagers, performing at 11 cathedrals from Truro to Carlisle. Come and hear them! Come and experience the joy of young people's music making, seeing them rise to the occasion and raise the roof, revelling in their shared achievement, thrilled by what is possible when they are given the opportunity and supported to succeed. Society needs this, perhaps just as much as – dare I suggest, even more than? – it needs football. https://lnkd.in/e9gdFRuW

I'm excited to share that Xenia Concerts is working together with the National Youth Orchestra of Canada to create workshops on leadership, group dynamics, self-care, and accessibility for this year's cohort of young musicians. Kayla Carter, Christie Gray, and the whole NYO team have all been instrumental in getting this project running. We'll explore: -Leadership and Interpersonal Skills: Fostering collaboration and understanding within diverse ensembles. -Inclusive Teamwork: Building healthy boundaries and communication skills to create rewarding, inclusive experiences. -Self-Care Planning: Developing personalized plans to manage stress, recognize limits, and prioritize well-being for a sustainable career. -Inclusive Concert Design: Learning to curate concerts that welcome and resonate with diverse audiences, fostering a sense of belonging. There are many challenges for musicians in the orchestral world, and many situations in which people suffer due to unhealthy power dynamics. It's clear that the problems aren't going to disappear overnight. But we hope that by expanding people's skills and awareness at this crucial stage of development, we can help build a kinder, more supportive future for working artists in Canada. https://lnkd.in/guAyK6tX
