Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
The SLSO envisions a world in which every life is enriched through the power of music. This world is created when cultural arts institutions acknowledge their specialties and actively seek opportunities to embrace diverse communities, musical traditions, and artistic styles. For the SLSO, these opportunities result in meaningful performances that explore and share a wide range of human creativity and experience. The SLSO’s unique combination of deep musical roots and broad reach in the global arts field provides a foundation for the vital EDI work that is the pathway for unleashing the power of music. To move beyond exclusive practices that perpetuate cultural divisions and structural inequities, the SLSO works toward a collaborative and equitable world. The SLSO commits to the significant EDI efforts of dismantling barriers to the human expression, engagement, and enjoyment of music.
