EQUITY ARC AND MADELINE ISLAND CHAMBER MUSIC

Equity Arc is a coalition charged by its diverse membership of local and national organizations to align, promote and develop equitable opportunities for aspiring classical musicians from underrepresented ethnicities. With a vision to create a level playing field for artists from backgrounds underrepresented in classical music, Equity Arc engages a broad coalition of members to both break down barriers to BIPOC musicians achieving success in the field and dismantle the structural inequities, biases, and systemic racism ingrained in many of the policies and practices in our field.

In 2022, Equity Arc partnered with over a dozen summer programs to launch the Common Application for Summer Study. This consolidated application allows young BIPOC musicians to apply to partner through one application and audition. Equity Arc covers the application fee for every eligible student. Madeline Island Chamber Music is proud to join the Common Application for Summer Study for our 2024 Summer.

If you are interested in applying for MICM and identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and/or people of color), we encourage you to apply through Equity Arc’s application.
