🎵 Concert Day
Sunday, May 3: the day everyone was waiting for! Convening attendees, fellows, faculty, and Equity Arc supporters gathered at Capital One Hall for a deeply moving and impactful closing Keynote Address by acclaimed public interest lawyer Bryan Stevenson. His powerful words grounded the weekend's themes of resilience and hope and left a lasting impression upon the audience.
Fellows took the stage at 2pm to showcase their artistry and hard work. The Wind Symphony performed an exciting program of works by Ryan George, Viet Cuong, Florence Price, James Lee III, and Carlos Simon. The Pathways Orchestra closed the festival with works by Antonin Dvorak, Jessie Montgomery, and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
"My Festival Ensemble experience has been one I can never forget. Attending this festival has taught me the importance of connecting with other musicians with similar backgrounds and that those relationships will last a lifetime. It has given me a taste of what beautiful music-making feels like and the work it takes to produce a meaningful product. This festival continues to renew my love and drive of being a professional musician." - Kevin Porter, double bass, Pathways Orchestra
