Orchestras are engaging in partnerships in their own communities, on tour, and in the humanitarian arena to maximize the power of music as a human right and a shared language. Learn how to deepen your orchestra’s commitment to music diplomacy from inspiring leaders that are crossing political boundaries, cultivating international partnerships, and celebrating the cultural diversity of music making here in the U.S. and across the globe.
