Description

MusicConnects is an education program that seeks to bring people together through music. The Winston-Salem Symphony and community partners collaborate to provide opportunities for audiences from all walks of life to connect and discuss music as it relates to relevant themes in our society. This year’s theme is Black Lives Matter and is a nod to the importance of expanding racial equity in the arts. Five online engagement events are planned over the summer months, leading to our September premiere performances of Bill Barclay’s The Chevalier with Concert Theatre Works and the North Carolina Black Repertory Company. Each online event will feature Timothy Redmond and guest lecturers, and will offer an opportunity to welcome attendees to be part of the conversation. Each event is offered as a Zoom webinar or via Facebook Live. Event Dates: July 22- Vocalist Jason McKinney and William Henry Curry August 5- Musicologist and Florence Price scholar Kori Hill August 26- Tonality founder and Artistic Director Alexander Blake September 10- Bill Barclay in conversation with violinist and music historian Quinton Morris *All events are scheduled for noon*
