At a moment of growth and possibility, Equity Arc invites friends, partners, and all who are passionate about the future of classical music to join us as we share how we are moving forward.
At this year’s National Convening and Festival Ensembles, we will explore our evolving strategic direction and how it is shaping our approach to artistic excellence, mentorship, and pathways into the profession. Grounded in deep respect for musicians’ lived experiences, we are working to close the gaps between talent and opportunity by creating clearer pathways for young artists and their families.
Alongside our Festival Ensembles performances, the Convening will create space for meaningful, participatory conversations about how talent is identified, supported, and recruited, and how we can collectively build a more equitable and effective field.
