Greetings! I am writing to encourage you to participate in an important national survey of
orchestral musicians that will help the field learn more
about the experiences of musicians of African and Latino descent and,
based on the information collected, develop programs and opportunities
that will help promote greater participation
by these musicians.
You may receive this
survey from other organizations with whom you are affiliated, but you
just need to fill out one. Also, I would like to ask you to share this
survey with your colleagues to make sure that
it is received by the largest number of musicians as possible.
Gateways musicians
have much to contribute to this conversation, and the survey organizers
-- the Sphinx Organization, the League of American Orchestras and the
New World Symphony -- have generously offered
to share the results of the survey with us so that we can determine if
there are programs, activities or opportunities that Gateways might
offer to further increase participation of classical musicians of
African descent. The survey concludes with a space
to “tell your story.” I have listened to many of you talk about your
extraordinary journeys, and this is a good opportunity to share them
with a broader audience.
Due Date: Friday, April 6, 2018
Thank you in advance
for your participation in and support of this important effort! Please
feel to reach out to the survey organizers or me if you have questions
or comments.
With all best wishes,
Lee
