On this episode of Arts Engines with Aaron Dworkin, he speaks to Eduardo Delgado, Public Programs Director of the New World Symphony, who shares how the symphony harnesses evolving technology to realize its artistic vision of fostering meaningful connections with the community. For Eduardo, community engagement isn't just about outreach—it's about building genuine connections in public settings. By collaborating with trusted community leaders, the symphony seeks to bridge the gap and cultivate authentic relationships with the communities they serve. As Eduardo notes, trust is earned, not assumed, and partnerships must be approached with humility and mutual respect. One shining example of the New World Symphony's commitment to accessibility is the "Wallcast" program. What began as a modest endeavor with concerts on TV screens has blossomed into full-screen projections on building walls, offering free concerts in the park—a testament to their dedication to breaking down barriers and bringing music to all. But innovation doesn't stop there. Recognizing the need for inclusivity and diversity in their audience, the symphony pioneered the "Mobile Wallcast" initiative. By taking the concert experience to communities, they're ensuring that music transcends physical boundaries and resonates with diverse audiences across Miami. At its core, this is more than just about music—it's about understanding and embracing the spaces where art breathes and evolves. Partnerships, Eduardo emphasizes, must be reciprocal, honoring the excellence that exists in every corner of our communities. Yet, we must tread with care and mindfulness. The New World Symphony, like any other organization, must be committed to entering communities where their presence is welcome, ensuring that projects and programs are co-created and mutually beneficial. Change takes time—but the rewards are worth it. #Arts #Culture #Music #Programming #Community #CommunityEngagement #AudienceEngagement #NewWorldSymphony #Miami #Florida #Technology #Artistry #Collaboration #Accessibility #Innovation #Trust #Change

What type of vacation is enticing for you in 2024?

⚡ Attn: #eventprofs ⚡ In 1952, Woodstock, NY witnessed an event that would echo in the chambers of musical history forever.... ⬇️ Pianist David Tudor, poised before a piano, allowed silence to fill a room for 4 minutes and 33 seconds. This wasn’t a forgotten sheet of music or a lapse in memory; it was a deliberate performance of John Cage’s "4'33".” At first glance, a silent performance seems absurd. But look closer, and the genius behind it emerges. The piece reminds us that sometimes, it’s not about the noise we create, but the silence we leave behind. It’s about how the absence of something can be as powerful as its presence. Now, how does this apply to the world of #eventplanning, a realm dominated by sights, sounds, and experiences? ✅ Negative Space Matters: Just as a silent performance emphasizes ambient sounds, a well-planned event leaves room for spontaneity and organic interactions. ✅ Challenge Expectations: Tudor’s performance shattered the conventions of a musical recital. Don’t be afraid to surprise your attendees and offer them something they've never seen or felt before. ✅ Details are Crucial: The ambient sounds during the performance of "4'33"” were not accidents. Likewise, in event planning, every choice – from lighting to the arrangement of furniture – contributes to the overall experience. It's the details that transform an event from mundane to magical. ✅ Embrace Boldness: Taking risks can lead to unparalleled rewards. Similarly, if you want your event to be memorable, you have to be bold. Sometimes, that might mean doing less rather than more. ✅ Listen: The most significant lesson from Tudor’s performance is to listen – to the sounds, the silences, the murmurs of the crowd. Event planners should always be in tune with their audience, responding to their needs, their reactions, and their feedback. In a world saturated with stimuli, the choice of silence made by David Tudor remains an invaluable lesson. For #eventplanners, it's a beacon, reminding us that what we choose to omit is just as important as what we include. The balance of visuals, sound, and silence can create a masterpiece, even if it looks or sounds a bit different than what we expected. So, the next time you're orchestrating an event, remember the power of silence. Sometimes, the most profound statements are made when nothing is said at all.

In this episode of Arts Engines with Aaron Dworkin, we're diving deep into the world of music, community, and leadership. Jonathan Martin, President & CEO of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, shares insights on leading an orchestra in service to its community. Music organizations often strive to serve the art of music but can face challenges in connecting with their communities. It's crucial for nonprofits to address community needs, especially when they're collecting funds. If there's a disconnect, it's time to redefine what community truly means and embrace change. Convincing stakeholders to embrace change can be challenging, but for Martin, it's about doing what's right, seizing artistic opportunities, and addressing economic disparities, especially with an aging generation. The power of music to bring people together is magical, and every decision in the music-making process has an impact, from the artists on stage to the ones discovered. To foster innovation, look beyond the music realm for inspiration. Music leaders must break out of the bubble and explore diverse influences, transcending classical music genres. #MusicLeadership #CommunityEngagement #Innovation #Arts #Culture #Cincinnati #Orchestra #Inspiration #Music #Leadership #Ohio #Community #Service

As someone in the adjacent archives sector, I am looking forward to today's Museums Association event: All Inclusive: Championing Accessible Museums "Ableism – prioritising the needs of non-disabled people over disabled people – remains pervasive across the museum sector. Disabled people still face barriers in our buildings, policies and structures, and are chronically unrepresented in our workforce and collections. All Inclusive is our annual one-day conference exploring how museums can become anti-ableist in everything that they do. Anti-ableism recognises abled privilege and actively looks to challenge and dismantle it through theory, actions and practices."
