The 2024 National Pathways Festival convenes 60 talented pre-college musicians of color from Pathways programs across the country for a multi-day musical intensive. The 2024 fellows, including six of our own Accelerando students, were selected through a competitive audition process to study and perform with Nashville Symphony musicians. The festival will culminate in a side-by-side concert led by Giancarlo Guerrero.
The Pathways Festival weekend is presented in partnership with Equity Arc. To learn more about Equity Arc, please visit https://equityarc.org/event/national-pathways-festival-summit/
The Pathways Festival Side-by-Side performance is presented in partnership with Equity Arc, The Big Blue Opera Initiative's Harry T. Burleigh Festival, and the National Museum of African American Music.
Admission is FREE or Choose-What-You-Pay, but tickets must be reserved in advance.
Who is Equity Arc?
Equity Arc is a national coalition of musical organizations and advocates who collaborate to provide classical musicians of color with advancement and mentoring opportunities to further their musical careers. The collective work follows two paths: Building a comprehensive arc of support and mentorship for instrumentalists to navigate the journey from student to professional and assisting in breaking down barriers to achieving success in the field. Equity Arc also provides forums, resources, and training for member organizations to dismantle the structural inequities, biases, and systemic racism ingrained in their policies and practices that inhibit the creation of equitable opportunities and environments for classical musicians of color.
In 2023, Equity Arc launched the National Collective for Musical Pathways, a collaborative initiative that provides a nucleus for Pathways programs across the United States. Pathways programs offer subsidized, musical training and mentorship that prepares pre-college musicians of color to enter prestigious collegiate music institutions. The National Pathways Festival is an annual opportunity for select fellows in the Collective to convene annually for a multi-day musical intensive, working alongside professional musicians and performing in our country’s preeminent concert halls. The Equity Arc Annual Convening brings together partners from across the field for focused discussion and action to level the playing field in classical music.
