Getting ready for NewMusicGathering as possibly the only non-composer/non-performer librettist/lyricist thinking I need one of these:

#Conferences and events, please, please takeThe Public Health Pledge, committing to safer and more #inclusive events. #Musicology #MusicTheory #Ethnomusicology #NewMusicGathering #Shakespeare #EarlyModern

Events with in-person gatherings must meet these criteria:

1. The event has a Health and Safety policy, and if the policy changes it is only strengthened – never weakened – between the event’s announcement and the event itself.
2. The event actively communicates this policy by including it on their website, in the registration flow, and speaker proposal process, discussing the policy regularly during events, and including it everywhere important announcements are shared.
3. The event’s policy includes active measures designed to minimize the number of participants who are infected with transmissible diseases like COVID-19, as well as mitigate transmission between participants.

Any of my #music folks here going in-person to #NewMusicGathering in Portland in June? I am feeling very ambivalent about going, even though my opera with Lisa Neher, Sense of Self, will be performed live. The organizers do not seem to be committed to #accessibilty, #masking, #Covid safety, reasonable schedules, and other things, so I am worried. I am committed to supporting & attending only conferences that have strong online participation goals and planning, so... Thoughts appreciated. #NewMusic #NewOpera #Opera
