Studying the Score: Race, Class, and Privilege in Classical Music is an open panel and discussion event focused on issues of race, class, and privilege in classical music communities. Undergraduate and graduate students, professors, and musicians willcome together to discuss and unpack concepts of achievement, elitism, inequality, and racialization in the seemingly ‘meritocratic’ system of classical music. We will examine these issues at various structural levels, including ideology, institutions, and the day‐to‐day lives of amateur and professional musicians.
 
Panelists: Lucinda Ali-Landing, Rashida Black, Lauren Eldridge, Travis Jackson, Meredith Aska McBride, Steve Rings, and Braxton Shelley

Moderated by: Lindsay Wright
