Since 1982, Project STEP (String Training Education Program) has provided talented young musicians that identify with historically underrepresented groups in classical music with comprehensive music instruction.
With racial inequity at the forefront of our national conversation, this event is co-presented by Project STEP and Longwood Symphony to highlight the disproportionate effect of COVID-19 on communities of color and to celebrate these organizations working on the frontline for social justice and healing. This virtual gathering will include performances featuring Project STEP and Longwood Symphony musicians, conversations with the artists, a presentation from healthcare leaders working for equity, and a Q&A with some of the artists.
Keynote Presentation: “Impact of COVID-19 on Communities of Color & Equitable Healing” with Dr. Augustus White & Dr. Mark Gebhardt
