We do not hear much about women or people of color, even though they definitely played their part in classical music. We always hear the names Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven when discussing classical music. The two orchestras I chose were the Princeton Symphony Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic. The New York Philharmonic is doing a series of concerts centered around Star Wars and then after that is over they are doing concerts centered around classical composers. So they try to appeal to a modern audience while still playing pieces from the canon. However, the Princeton Symphony orchestra is playing mainly Bach and Beethoven. ]]> 2017-09-24 22:29:05 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellanieves/l35e2fagem32/wish/190631372 isabellanieves https://padlet.com/isabellanieves/l35e2fagem32/wish/190633568 "For art music to grow into a richer, more inclusive space, we must start in our classrooms by showing ourselves, our colleagues, and our students that classical music has never been the preserve of white cisgender men only, and it does not have to continue to be the place of privilege and whiteness that it too often is." - Kira Thurman and Kristen Turner]]> 2017-09-24 22:58:01 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellanieves/l35e2fagem32/wish/190633568 isabellanieves https://padlet.com/isabellanieves/l35e2fagem32/wish/190633874 Here we see the New York Philharmonic playing music from the famous 'Star Wars' films. This type of music really appeals to younger audiences while also playing music that is iconic to many generations of people. ]]> 2017-09-24 23:01:01 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellanieves/l35e2fagem32/wish/190633874 isabellanieves https://padlet.com/isabellanieves/l35e2fagem32/wish/190634207 Here we see the same orchestra performing Brahms Symphony No.3. This is a piece that is often  played by orchestras to honor the canon. They try to innovate the canon by performing a few pieces outside of the canon.]]> 2017-09-24 23:05:27 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellanieves/l35e2fagem32/wish/190634207 isabellanieves https://padlet.com/isabellanieves/l35e2fagem32/wish/190634649 "The stereotype of the solitary genius disempowers women and minorities who do not see people of their gender or ethnicity included in the canon of great composers" -Sara Haefeli.

-Western classical music has not left much space to allow for those of different ethnicities or of the female gender to compose music. When people of color have tried to compose music under this genre, they have said that they were simply making 'urban' music opposed to classical music. ]]> 2017-09-24 23:11:26 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellanieves/l35e2fagem32/wish/190634649 isabellanieves https://padlet.com/isabellanieves/l35e2fagem32/wish/190635183 Here the Princeton University Orchestra is playing a more modern piece. ]]> 2017-09-24 23:18:29 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellanieves/l35e2fagem32/wish/190635183 isabellanieves https://padlet.com/isabellanieves/l35e2fagem32/wish/190635962 I would like to see more pieces that were composed from women or people of color.
