Through this purchase, you will have access to the recording of the event held on November 9, 2021 that StringRise held with 3 panelists. All proceeds will go to the Black Violin Foundation from this purchase, to continue the support of providing instruments for students of color.

Presenters will focus on:
- Research on why centering BIPOC literature is crucial in the String Classroom for the well-being of our students, and the importance of instructional practices that affirm the identities of our students. (Dr. Kelsey Nussbaum)
- Analysis of prescribed music lists, the barriers that exist within these institutional structures, and tools to help us become more critical of the pieces we choose. (Felipe Morales-Torres)
- Black composers and centering Black cultural experiences within classical music with Kori Coleman, Founder of D-Composed - a Black chamber music collective that uplifts and empowers society through the communal power of Black composers.
