BLACK REFLECTIONS: A JUST FUTURE FOR BLACK ARTISTS

Black Reflections is a three-part panel discussion series on Black artistry in concert music hosted by Oberlin Conservatory and the New World Symphony. Conversations will cover the historical and social context of Black musicians’ participation in concert music, the personal experiences of Black musicians, and reimagining a just and equitable future for Black artists in concert music. Panelists include Black artists, activists, scholars, and executives in classical music and jazz.

Black Reflections is funded and hosted by Oberlin Conservatory of Music and the New World Symphony. The series is also supported in part by the Sphinx Organization and Gateways Festival. Black Reflections is a NWS BLUE project, made possible with support from the Maxine and Stuart Frankel Foundation.
