It was a pleasure being a part of LeadingAge Maryland's 2024 Annual Conference - partnering with Tiffany Nicolette (CHAI: Comprehensive Housing Assistance, Inc.), Patty Malatt (Asbury Communities, Inc.), and Lauren Latessa (Iris Music Project) to present on The Impact of Community Embedded Musicians. The health benefits for older adults of participating in the arts and music are astounding, and we would be happy to connect and discuss the first steps to creating long-term Ensemble Programs in other communities.

Audience Development: Evolving American Orchestras As we celebrate the rich tapestry of American orchestras today, it's crucial to reflect on their journey from European-rooted ensembles to the culturally and community focused institutions we strive for. The 19th-century American orchestral scene was a battleground for identity, with European-trained maestros shaping our musical heritage amidst crises and cultural clashes. The 1800s were pivotal, birthing renowned schools like the Peabody Conservatory (1865), Oberlin School of Music (1867), and New England Conservatory (1870) to cultivate homegrown talent. Yet, this era also faced an "orchestra crisis," grappling with elitist perceptions and a struggle to resonate with the American public. Fast forward to strategies of financial sustainability: a model that leaned heavily on philanthropy, inadvertently widening the gap between the upper class and lower socioeconomic audiences. This historical blueprint set a precedent, but also a challenge for modern audience development. As professionals in the arts, we must confront this legacy, understanding the nuances between philanthropy and equitable access. It's not just about survival; it's about reshaping orchestras to be truly inclusive and reflective of all communities. We stand at a crossroads: acknowledge the past, challenge the status quo, and innovate—or risk obsolescence. (And this is applicable to other organizations across the #ArtsSector) Challenging? Yes. Impossible? No. Respectfully, Dr. Roque Diaz Interested in learning more about #DEI? Follow me. #OrchestraInclusion #AudienceDevelopment #ArtsPhilanthropy #History #Orchestras

“Slow down, you move too fast”— a summer anthem. ⚫️Why do we grow programming before infrastructure? Or funding? ⚫️How come our big ideas are easier to come by than the culture required to ground it? ⚫️Why do we expand more naturally than we contract? (Boards too!) Spend some time journaling. Listen to music. Get your reflective groove on. Reflection. Intention. Strategy. Action. It’s a cycle. It’s a marathon. It’s not a sprint. Endurance matters. Slow down, you’re moving to fast. No need to bypass the moment. Make it last. https://lnkd.in/g4rR6xbh

I just love the mission of this sponsoring organization, A Tribe for Jazz. They are doing some deeply interdisciplinary work telling the story of jazz as a public good. This panel discussion--Hear Me Out: Democracy, Jazz, and Education-- brought together leaders in jazz advocacy and left me reflecting on what it means to "be the change" first as a human, second as a artist/academic/teacher/advocate.
