June 12-13, 2021, I’ll be attending a digital course called Climate Intelligence & Action for Artists presented by the Gabriela Lena Frank Creative Academy of Music. 

I’m really looking forward to it. Composers, please join us! https://www.glfcam.com/distance-learning-program/climate-action

I’ve started a Discord group for course attendees. This is its beautiful, handmade logo. :)

Climate and environment are becoming big themes in my work, both in music and in communications, and I’m working to try to understand my connection to it all. It’s a big scary topic, and I want to find more musicians to talk about this with.

Almost none of us are climate scientists, but we all need to be part of the change at some level. And to do that well, we (I, at least) have a lot to learn, quickly. That’s one reason I’m doing this.

“Only when things fall apart do you realize it can happen to you. You never think it can happen to you, until it does.”

― Kim Stanley Robinson, The Ministry for the Future

I look forward to learning more and meeting some new faces soon.

Note that the Discord server is managed by me and is not affiliated with the GLF Academy of Music, but the school was kind enough to invite its list of registrants. Many thanks!
