CO-PRESENTED BY

August 13, 2020 2:00pm - 3:30pm 

The COVID-19 pandemic forced music educating, music performing and music presenting organizations to a temporary standstill, impacting an unprecedented number of people. The Presser Foundation and American Composers Forum, Philadelphia Chapter invites colleagues to share thoughts about resilience, creativity, and programming during pandemic. The five Idea Forums take place between August 12th and  August 21st.

The August 13th session features representatives from Play On Philly! and Settlement Music School.  

• Play On Philly! will share the results of their community design sessions producing two month-long programs - POP Out of the Box and Virtual Summer - and shifting the programming tide from replication to imagination.
• Settlement Music School will take participants through the processes of planning, selecting a delivery platform, training faculty, and providing technical support to both teachers and students. They will discuss "silver linings" of this world-wide shift in music education delivery.
