The Estonian song festival, Laulupidu, has taken place every five years for over 150 years. It is one of the largest choral events in the world and involves almost all of Estonia. The festival embraces the power of singing, which has become a national symbol for Estonia, especially in the most troubling of times.

The rise and influence of #Afrobeats music in the US and around the world has been amazing to witness. There are many reasons why Afrobeats music has become popular in the US; one reason being the coming of age of the children of African immigrants who settled in the US in the 1970s and 1980s who are now using the internet to form connections with their countries of heritage. In my study on the children of Ghanaian immigrants, social media and music were the most popular media forms participants used to maintain their ties to Ghana. Afrobeats parties like the ones mentioned in this article show the strength of cultural ties among younger segments of the African diaspora, and how economies are being created based on these ties. #Africa #diaspora #migration #music

Friday Arts! It is so cool living in Brisbane … the erupting epicentre of the arts in this country! There is so much going on in this town (and this state) in the arts. Our own #QueenslandTheatre is amazing, as are the other majors in town … #Circa, #QueenslandBallet, #OperaQueensland, and #QSO. The Festivals are pretty fabulous also, and the biggest Arts Festival of all - the Cultural Olympiad - is on its way also. But if you look a little deeper, there are also rumblings outside the play space of the majors. The new kid on the block is Springboard Opera, and I am the chair of the board. With my fellow other directors Leslie Martin, Luisa Tarnawski, Gheorja Haidley and Scott Mullane, I am putting together a purpose-built Opera Company here in BrisVegas. Our words are: Supporting Emerging Artists Transforming the Opera Idea We’ve had one public outing, and the INAUGURAL Springboard Opera auditions are happening soon – check out our website if you happen to be an emerging Opera Artist. Or even if you aren’t. Being purpose-built and brand new, our point-of-difference is that we have no history. So the answer “this is the way that it is done” is really of no interest to us. We are going to push the envelope, finding new audiences, supporting young Queensland, and deliver opera in ways that you have not seen before. But what is also different is the stuff that the public does not see. The corporate culture, the way that we run ourselves, the people we have. A truly innovative and C21 arts organisation is not just about the performances. It is about everything that we do and every thought that we have. And that is why you need to watch this space, or even jump on over to our website at https://lnkd.in/gS53GYEN and become a supporter! #Future #TransformationalLeadership #LeadershipDevelopment #Directors #Technology #Performingarts #YourNetworkForLife
