Stay tuned for the incredible story of Joseph Bologne, Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges
Classical Kids is thrilled to announce that we’ve selected the acclaimed artist Gill Sotu to lead us bravely and enthusiastically into the world of Joseph Bologne!
Classical Kids Music Education recognizes that the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) are vital to a fully realized cultural and artistic life for all individuals. Our mission is to provide children with an exciting and educational point of entry into the world of classical music by humanizing the lives of the great composers, creating an emotional connection to their musical masterpieces, and inspiring a personal excellence that leads to greater achievement and success in life. For far too long, the ideas of who the great composers are and which are the important stories of music history have not been built on cultural inclusion and equity. Consequently, we also recognize that Classical Kids must do the important work of expanding our own programming and repertoire to promote these ideas within our organization, audiences, and collaborators.
Moving forward, Classical Kids has identified three new programmatic goals:
Fundraising for these initiatives will be a priority in the coming season, and our goal is to begin implementation during the 2022-2023 season. We envision these initiatives as ongoing, multi-year efforts to help Classical Kids become a more just, inclusive organization for our audiences, our artists, and our collaborators.
We will also continue our current outreach efforts, such as our Licensing Initiative and our school residency Music Inspires!, examining how we can change or expand those programs to prioritize EDI.
Our organization’s leadership also continues to review organizational structure and practices to identify and implement structural and/or administrative changes to promote EDI within Classical Kids.
