34th
Annual Conference
“Six hundred ensemble musicians, presenters,
artist managers and other music professionals gathered in New York
City this past January for CMA’s 2012 National Conference.
Inspiring keynote speeches by Aaron
P. Dworkin,
founding president of The Sphinx Organization, and Randy
Cohen, Americans
for the Arts’ vice president for research, addressed the conference
theme, Sound
Off! Raising the Volume on Arts Advocacy.
A day of pre-conference professional development events was followed
by a weekend of showcases, workshop sessions, receptions, awards
ceremonies, and concerts.”
“Violinist Aaron
Dworkin, founding
president of The Sphinx Organization in Detroit, delivered Friday’s
keynote address, 'Breaking
the Sound Barrier.'
Dworkin described his own early experience as one of the very few
African Americans in classical music, and how he came to create
Sphinx—which for the past 15 years has been steadily increasing the
number of young black
and Latino string players entering the field.”
