1/ I’ve been compiling e-resources for exploring black & ethnically diverse composers.

Here’s a thread of ones I’ve found useful (from my inexpert perspective).
#Diversity
#Equality
#Inclusion

This is the first one:
musicbyblackcomposers.org

It specifies the gender of each composer.
Music by Black Composers - Home Page
Music by Black Composers aims to increase diversity in the world of classical music, and inspire Black students to pursue instrumental training.

Been v. poorly lately, but today managed to see my beautiful, gentle giant of a son.
Only 4 mins but we mostly laughed and it was SO BRILLIANT.
I even managed quite a lot of eye contact which is hard when I’m not good (any other long haulers find this?)

I had to google him due to ignorance. It got me curious so I’ve just been listening to a little bit of Bridgerton album! It actually suits me perfectly rn with my dodgy long covid brain as each track is only about 3 min long 😀

There’s just no excuse for that kind of behaviour, is there
