/in /by

What a great loss!! 

The Wildfires in the Los Angeles area are still burning.  The loss of life and homes is immeasurable. 

Orchestras in the area are suffering their own losses, personal and professional. The League of American Orchestras says their disaster website is full of information on places to go for help.

There’s very bad news for the music of composer Arnold Schoenberg.  Much of his orchestral scores were destroyed in the Pacific Palisades fire.

IT’S NICE TO BE BACK.  On Classical Music In Color

/in /by

I was pretty happy to see the last of 2024. 

So many reasons but I think after some time, I am happy to be back producing more episodes of Classical Music In Color in 2025.

In this episode I tell you about music organizations like Arts2Work and the League Of American Orchestras offering help for those affected by the Los Angeles Wildfires. Shoppe Black also has a list of African-American businesses that are helping too.

I also cover BIPOC classical musicians who are up for Grammy Awards. 

Application season is here for young musicians looking for a summer music program.  Equity Arc is offering a streamlined application.

There’s a job open at the Berkeley Symphony with Joseph Young stepping down.
