92nd Street Y’s Post

They say there's a Swift Math to calculate when Taylor Swift will release her next album or make a significant announcement. Last night, the math was on point as she celebrated her 13th Grammy by announcing her newest album. In between the Eras concert this year in Asia, Australia, and Europe and her new album(s), we can see the impact she's had not only on our economy but also on music culture 🎶 This report, crafted by fellow researchers at Statista, is truly amazing. Not only does it capture the statistical importance and feasible results in the economy, but it also includes some delightful fun facts 😎 #TaylorSwift #Grammy #DataAnalyst #StatisticalAnalysis"

‼️Please take a moment to read the Black Orchestral Network’s call to action “Dear American Orchestras Part II” focused on tenure reform including 10 steps towards equity in the tenure process. I firmly believe that Gen X can end these long established practices that have been harmful with the goal to create a better working environment for the generations that follow. I refuse to believe in common statements like “this process is horrible but it is the best process we have”. We should and MUST reevaluate practices that have been in place for over 30 years. We as musicians need to care for ourselves and our colleagues and establish an updated process that is beneficial to musicians. We as administrators need to make this a priority for our orgs, which includes aligning the Board and/or Music Director with these shared values. Please take a moment to read the open letter. If you have questions, feel free to to share them on the Black Orchestral Network page and/or join the Community Conversation that will be held tomorrow (Monday) at 7:30pm ET virtually. #dayofsolidarity #dearamericanorchestras #advocacy #protest #solidarity #equity https://lnkd.in/eXg5cEXw

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.

NEW EPISODE! In our fascination with #STEM education, are we losing something vital by squeezing out the arts. It is precisely in its rich and diverse #aliveness perhaps that music, and other arts, hold so much possibility. Check out this week's conversation with the incredible Eric Dozier! With a couple of stunning songs performed by Eric too! Eric and Tim talk about: 🎵 How does music connect us with ourselves? 🎶 How does music connect us with each other, and build community? 🎵 How does music offer other ways of knowing and transferring cultural knowledge? 🎶 How do black and indigenous cultural ways of knowing get marginalised by white supremacy culture? 🎵 What does it mean for a teacher (like a choirleader) to hold space for transformation?
