b'
As important conversations surrounding diversity and equity are happening in industries across the US, Jaime Esposito \\u201914 and Stephen Hall \\u201913 are leading the way for more queer representation in classical music. The two percussionists and educators are also the co-founders of Spectrum Ensemble, a performance group with the goal of giving the queer community a platform to create and make music.
Spectrum Ensemble\\u2019s mission is to commission and perform beautiful music while supporting the community by commissioning queer composers and using their music to fundraise for LGBTQ+ advocacy organizations.
In this episode, Jaime and Stephen share insights into their work, the process of starting an ensemble, and the impact their work is having. You can catch Spectrum Ensemble\\u2019s next performance at the New Media Art and Sound Summit here on July 22.\\xa0
