EPISODE DESCRIPTION:
In the final episode of our first season, the Soundweavers team discusses some of the major themes throughout the season—relationships, adaptability, and self-reflection—and explore how these themes intersected with small ensemble performance and composition; education, community engagement, and social justice; and administrative and life skills. We explore how so many of our guests emphasized the importance of long-term relationship building, flexibility with methods and approaches, and an openness to self-evaluation led these individuals and ensembles in directions that they may have not anticipated—even changing career paths altogether, in some instances. We reflect on how small ensembles are integrating, supporting, and upholding the pillars of our communities, and how musicians are building connections, promoting access, thinking inclusively, and using privilege and resources to support underrepresented artists and communities.
