Dear Friends and Colleagues:
I trust that the summer is going smoothly now that festival season is in full swing.
The
last few months have been quite full and exciting, and I am pleased to
share this interview which took place during the National Alliance for
Audition Support Audition Intensive. Held at the New World Center in
Miami Beach, the National Alliance for Audition Support is a partnership
involving the New World Symphony, League of American Orchestras, and
Sphinx Organization.

"The National Alliance for Audition Support (NAAS) is
an unprecedented national initiative to increase diversity in American
orchestras. It will do so by offering Black and Latinx musicians a
customized combination of mentoring, audition preparation, financial
support, and audition previews. The NAAS is made up of The Sphinx Organization, the lead program and fiscal administrator for the Alliance; the New World Symphony, America’s Orchestral Academy; and the League of American Orchestras,
representing 700 orchestras. A group of Black and Latinx professional
musicians will be thought leaders, guides, and advisors for the
Alliance. The NAAS is supported by a four-year grant of $1.8M from The
Andrew W. Mellon Foundation as well as contributions from orchestras
across the U.S."
