This month, I CARE IF YOU LISTEN and American Composers Forum will host two roundtable discussions on the topic of cultural appropriation to conclude “Out of Context,” our shared 10-part essay series that examines how cultural appropriation intersects with both Western European-based classical music and the broader social landscape. The roundtable discussions will reconvene the authors to reflect back on the series and provide crucial next steps for putting their ideas into action.
We welcome you to join us on Zoom for these free conversations (registration required, links below). Both events will be recorded and available on I CARE IF YOU LISTEN .TV at a later date.
If you require an interpreter, closed-captioning, or any other accommodations to fully engage, please contact Laura Krider (lkrider@composersforum.org, 612.314.9228) within 48 hours of the event.
