Dear Bill,

The next iteration of Puentes Caribeños (Caribbean Bridges), in collaboration with the University of Trinidad and Tobago, will be an online symposium that will focus on music-making and creativity in the Caribbean during the pandemic. The symposium will provide an opportunity for the strengthening of bonds between composers, performers, artists and scholars throughout the region and its diaspora. The symposium invites two categories of submissions: 1. short academic papers and 2. video recordings of compositions.
