August 14, 2020 10:00am - 11:30am 

The COVID-19 pandemic forced music education, 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 14th session features representatives from Mendelssohn Chorus of Philadelphia and OperaDelaware.  

• Mendelssohn Chorus of Philadelphia moves forward with courage and determination during their season of music and virtual programming.  By sharing their five goals they hope to inspire and propel their community of singers and others forward.
• OperaDelaware focused on what they CAN do and created "Opera in the Outdoors." This mindset shift includes "Drive Through Arias" and "Opera Cart" which offers opera performances during hospital shift changes and at retirement communities.
