This year all of our ensembles - from Jazz to Mariachi, and in all of our orchestras - will be learning and performing music that includes and uplifts works by women, and people of color. In the Winter Series entitled Vital Voices, we featured musical works by women. Our annual Music for Everyone Showcase Concert is Musical Roots: featuring music from Africa and the Americas. We close the season with our Spring series, Gathering Voices, featuring music composed by Black, Indigenous and People of Color. As our programs are set, more
details of repertoire and composers will be available.
