Project 440

“Tacet No More” is a podcast series that asks the questions that need to be asked and says the things that need to be said about classical music. The podcast, now in its second season, is hosted by musicians, educators, and Project 440 Board members Joseph Conyers and YUMI KENDALL. On the latest episode, "Creative Education to Shape the Future," they are joined by educators and fellow Project 440 Board members Michael O'Bryan and Frank Machos.

Students who are personally impacted by the closing of the University of the Arts likely have many questions. Along with their partner schools, many colleges and universities in the Philadelphia region and beyond are also devising plans to welcome UArts students. We have reached out to schools that have participated in our annual College Fair for Musicians and, with their support and cooperation, have compiled a still-growing list of schools that are providing resources and or a pathway for UArts students. More information and resources are available here: https://lnkd.in/eWgAmDEB

The spring semester of our Doing Good, Instruments for Success, and Youth Advocacy Council programs concluded this week. Doing Good students presented the results of their service-learning projects at the Doing Good Graduation. Instruments for Success students participated in a mock college admissions activity, and the Youth Advocacy Council discussed the impact of AI on musicians and the music industry. On this Teacher Appreciation Week, we also thank our Teaching Artists, mentors, and guest speakers who have supported our students this year.
