with SCALE and Orchestras Canada
Climate emergency is one of the greatest challenges confronting human society. How are artists and orchestras responding? How can we “connect the dots” between classical music and the effects of climate change? What new roles can arts organizations play in leading the way to a culture shift and a more just, resonant, resilient future?
Join us for a discussion led by SCALE – a new “network of networks” activating the arts and culture sector in the climate emergency. In the first part of the session, Judi Pearl will introduce SCALE and its vision for how artists and arts organizations can respond to the climate crisis. In the second part, artist/scholar Dr. Tanya Kalmanovitch will unpack new roles for orchestras and musicians in the face of the emergency. Participants will gain knowledge, resources and networks to enact change in your life, your orchestra, and your community.
Cost: Free and open to all!
