NNPA NEWSWIRE — “[2020’s] tragedies – both COVID and the instances of violence against people of color by police and others – was a real call to action for The National Philharmonic Orchestra. We completely revamped our season of music as a first step in meeting this moment in history – and we recognize that the work has just begun, and we have a lot more work to do as an organization. Understanding the histories of our BIPOC communities is an essential and important first step,” said Jim Kelly, the president and CEO of the National Philharmonic Orchestra.
