When Barenboim says âNow I want to explore all those places where music hasnât been brought toâ or "Itâs better to send the Berlin Philharmonic to play Beethovenâs Sym. No. 1 because [that] they canât imitate. Neither the Beethoven nor the orchestraâ

While weâre at it on decolonialism. Anti-colonialism and anti-Imperialism arenât the same either. A large chunk of what we talk about as Colonialist is actually Imperialist. The Stanford Ency. of Phil. does a pretty good job of parsing out the difference.

There is power in absolute music because it carries Joseph's experiences as a Black man in the United States.

Black musicians, composers, music scholars predated the Renaissance and, not surprisingly, existed outside of the Western world. Letâs stop pretending composition, musicology, and music theory only existed in Europe.

This quote by Angela Davis perfectly sums up why I do what I do. Maybe it's time to support BIPOC arts organizations rather than spending an inordinate amount of resources trying to fix whyte ones?

Learning about the nearly 200 year history of Black Orchestras and the 170 year history of Anti-Colonial Orchestras should be a good start in disabusing folks from thinking that we need the White Savior Classical Music Complex.
"To ask about classical musicâs affirmation to support people of color, I think, carries an assumption that there are no segments of the classical music community that are already doing this." 5Qs to @niathenote.

Why I say DEI initiatives in music just replicate the systemic structural racial/colonial issues--a view from the publishing industry and the recent NYT OpEd about the White Publishing Industry. Apparently his book "Redlining Culture" (CUP) is an in depth look at it!

Hot take:
DEI in Classical Music is just Respectability Politics for Classical Music.

And this is one of the reasons why I've started regularly talking about being a Classical Musician is like a form of CosPlay.
"Standard concert dress (for example, a tuxedo or tails for men) reflects a Eurocentric and heteronormative standard."
