At the nexus of ethnomusicology and music education: pathways to diversity, equity, and inclusion

Uncategorized Posted: January 7, 2020 8:57 pm

“Teachers in a wide variety of venues, including university professors, who seek a multicultural-intercultural-global array of songs, instrumental pieces, dance, and listening selections are locating them online, where they are finding the results of fieldwork by ethnomusicologists that apply to their curricular practices and programs. … Attention to the two coinciding yet distinctive fields, along with a glance at the emerging studies in Community Music and Applied Ethnomusicology, provide insights leading to policies on pathways to diversity, equity, and inclusion in and through music.” – Arts Education Policy Review

How this Kentucky musician and educator gives back

Uncategorized Posted: January 7, 2020 8:33 pm

“Jecorey Arthur uses his extensive knowledge of music to educate kids, entertain people of all ages, and give back to his community. He performs and records his own music under the name 1200, teaches at Simmons College of Kentucky, and brings music education to Louisville public schools. As an artist, his music is genre-defying and experimental, combining classical and hip-hop. … On top of his many musical endeavors, Arthur is engaged in on-the-ground social justice work in West Louisville, including the Parkland neighborhood where he grew up.” – PBS NewsHour (KET)

Rethinking Community in Community Music: The Call, the Welcome, and the ‘Yes’

Uncategorized Posted: January 7, 2020 8:06 pm

“Community music has a growing programme of scholarship and international projects. As a musical practice that emphasises people, participation, places, inclusivity, and diversity, those that work in the field do so across an increasing array of contexts and environments. … As a cultural and social imperative in the construction of human relationships, the analysis of hospitality through the field of community music contributes to the discourse of rethinking community as an interdisciplinary concept.” – Rethinking Community through Transdisciplinary Research

Lament For A Shuttered Music School, And For The Too-Rare Opportunity It Offered

MUSIC Posted: January 2, 2020 9:01 am

“A nonprofit on the East Side that partnered with public schools, the [Turtle Bay Music School] announced in November that it would be forced to close due to a lack of funding. The entire conceit of TBMS, summed up in its ​mission statement​, was that every single person should be able to learn an instrument and enjoy making music. That ‘every single person’ part was key — if you couldn’t afford lessons, tuition assistance could help.” – Gothamist

On The Edges Of A Huge South American Landfill, An Orchestra With Instruments Made Out Of Garbage

MUSIC Posted: December 31, 2019 12:03 pm

Most people who live near the Cateura dump outside Asunción, the Paraguayan capital, scratch out a living by digging out anything that can be resold, and buying a musical instrument would be an impossible dream. But local carpenter Nicolás Gómez and music teacher Favio Chávez decided that they could build musical instruments and give children there free music lessons — and so the Recycled Orchestra of Cateura was born. – Al Jazeera

Shuffle: Orchestrating a Diverse Classical Music World

Uncategorized Posted: December 24, 2019 9:28 pm

“It’s no secret that classical music has a diversity problem. Major symphony orchestras around the country are primarily white, as are their audiences. And as these audiences continue to shrink, more conservatories and orchestras are getting serious about becoming as diverse as the cities they serve.” – WKSU (Kent, Ohio)

D.C. Trio The String Queens Wants To Change The Face Of Classical Music, One Pop Cover At A Time

Uncategorized Posted: December 24, 2019 9:27 pm

“‘We’re actually modeling what we believe the musical world should be like,’ says [cellst Élise] Sharp. ‘And even [in] the people that work with us on our graphic design and our production in the studio, we try to partner with people who look like us and who have a similar message as us.’ This push for diversity goes beyond race. Reaching a wider audience also means acting as a bridge between classical and mainstream pop.” – DCist

Sensory-Friendly Orchestra Performances Tap Unserved Audiences

Typically kids, adolescents and adults with autism take in information differently than their neurotypical peers. They can be easily overwhelmed by the senses, noises, visuals and smells. The loud music and the crowds and flashing lights at traditional concerts can overwhelm someone with autism such that they need to leave. – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

How To Deal With Racist Operas? Show, Don’t Hide

MUSIC Posted: December 19, 2019 2:01 pm

“To survive, opera has to confront the depth of its racism and sexism point-blank, treating classic operas as historical artifacts instead of dynamic cultural productions. Opera directors should approach the production of these classics as museum curators and professors — educating audiences about historical context and making stereotypes visible.” – The New York Times

America’s First Racially Integrated All-Girl Swing Band

MUSIC Posted: December 19, 2019 11:03 am

“The International Sweethearts broke attendance records at places such as Washington DC’s Howard Theatre, Harlem’s Apollo Theater, Cincinnati’s Cotton Club and the Riviera in St Louis. They played in the same venues as Count Basie and Dizzy Gillespie, were considered some of the most talented musicians of their day and toured France and Germany as a USO act in 1945. Unfortunately, racism and sexism largely swept them from the public record; they became footnotes in other people’s stories.” – The Guardian

Traditions and Trailblazing With Nathalie Joachim

Uncategorized Posted: December 10, 2019 7:22 pm

“Currently Joachim is riding a wave of success for her album Fanm d’Ayiti (Women of Haiti), which The New York Times called ‘an evening-length artistic exploration of matriarchy, drawing Haitian folk and popular traditions into the world of contemporary classical music.’ The reverse could also be said, that contemporary classical music is being drawn into Haitian folk and popular traditions. Either way, it is a cross-pollination and celebration that prompted Steve Smith of The New Yorker to write, ‘No more joyous chamber-music collection has arrived this year.'” – San Francisco Classical Voice

Composer Gabriel Kahane on Marrying Social Justice With Contemporary Classical Music

Uncategorized Posted: December 10, 2019 7:08 pm

“I’m a politically minded person and have spent a lot of time thinking about poverty and income inequality. The idea of tackling this subject matter in the context of a symphony orchestra, which optically tends to be perceived as an institution that caters to people of privilege … I didn’t know exactly how to attack it. What I did was to treat homelessness and housing insecurity as symptoms of broader systemic inequality, and to try to implicate the audience in the story that I was telling and to really kind of hold their feet to the fire.” – Portland Mercury

“Porgy and Bess” and the Legacy of Black Opera

Uncategorized Posted: December 10, 2019 6:48 pm

“Black opera singers are now cast in a wide range of roles and great operas written by black composers have gained more recognition. Yet, Porgy and Bess has maintained its cultural status as the pinnacle of black opera, despite being written by and composed by white men and women — George and Ira Gershwin and Dubose and Dorthy Heyward. Dr. Jason Oby, the chair of the Department of Music at Texas Southern University and the artistic director for the Houston Ebony Opera Guild, joined The Takeaway to discuss Porgy and Bess and the legacy of black opera singers and composers.” (audio) – WNYC Studios

“This article reports on the impact of music education for students in a secondary school in Victoria, Australia. Socially inclusive practices were a focus of the study as the school has a high percentage of young people with a refugee background. … Key findings from this case study research indicated that a music classroom which fostered socially inclusive practices resulted in a positive transcultural learning space.

Vijay Iyer: Artist As Ally Of Adjacent Cultures

ISSUES Posted: December 9, 2019 12:29 pm

“This can’t just be about me sounding cool or looking awesome. It has to be in service of something larger. You want to actually open a conversation and activate people’s imaginations, and allow them to imagine a different world than the one we’re in. And that’s the kind of work that an artist can do, because we’re not there to answer questions exactly. We’re there to stir something up, and also to offer an alternative to the reality that we’re inhabiting.” – Boston Review

What It Takes to Choreograph an Opera in a Soup Kitchen

Uncategorized Posted: December 3, 2019 7:22 pm

“New York City’s On Site Opera, known for staging works in non-traditional spaces, is presenting Amahl and the Night Visitors next month inside the Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen, which serves lunch to the homeless every weekday. … Choreographer Winston A. Benons Jr. … was brought on by On Site’s director Eric Einhorn to reenvision the opera’s ‘ballet’ section where townspeople perform for the three kings. It traditionally features either classical ballet or a European folk dance, but Einhorn wanted a new take. So Benons mined his background in both Afro-diasporic dance (particularly from Cuba, Haiti and Brazil) and modern forms, but also added something more.” – Dance Magazine
