To start out this month, Steve talks about an article that caught his attention in the Choral Journal. Then, he interviews Arreon Harley-Emerson, our ACDA Chair for National Diversity Initiatives about what we need to know about DEI policies. A special R&R Quick Pick includes one of Steve’s compositions. We get an interview with the ACDA Executive Director Robyn Hilger to get us excited about theNational Conference. Steve gives us a review of the conference app in preparation for next week’s conference. We wrap up with some listener-submitted influence stories.
