Boston Singers' Resource is partnering with NATS Boston and Greater Boston Choral Consortium to co-host "Table for More": A 4-part Interactive Webinar Series, presented by G. Phillip Shoultz, III of VocalEssence (Minneapolis).
We recognize that there needs to be a place for interactive discussion surrounding the discrimination and injustice in our field, especially as we head into the next school year during the time of COVID-19. The issues surrounding accessibility, inclusion, and equity demand our attention and action more than ever.
