Hey, Scorekeepers! We're on summer vacation this week. Please enjoy this episode of our 2024 podcast, ART CLASS, that you may have missed. This episode was originally released on May 7, 2024.--Welcome to another episode of ART CLASS, dear classmates! On this week's episode, we continue our discussion about creating more equitable and inclusive spaces in classical music with Lecolion Washington, a brilliant musician who's blazing new trails as the Executive Director of the Community Music Center of Boston (0:05:32). And boy, do we talk about it all: fundraising, DEI initiatives, mentorship, a life-changing encounter with Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and more! It's a conversation you don't want to miss! After that, part two of Paige's Kinfolk conversation with Gambian kora virtuoso and founder of The Gambia Academy, Sona Jobarteh (0:46:38).
