    CMA Talks: Sparking Change Through Sonic Memoirs

    How can art foster a deeper meaning of complex social issues? What are the benefits to placing art making at the center of community initiatives? In this episode of CMA Talks, Olivia Cosío and Renate Rohlfing of Sounds That Carry—a creative impact firm that helps organizations develop programs to connect with their communities—answer these questions as they discuss Sounds of Houston, CMA’s creative placemaking and oral history project. Developed with support from The Wallace Foundation, Sounds of Houston paired musicians with resident narrators to collaboratively create sonic memoirs, which aimed to preserve narratives, soundscapes, and music in Houston communities significantly affected by climate change.

    CMA Talks: Confronting Marginalization through the Power of the Creative Life

    What are the tools and best practices for creating thoughtful and lasting work? How can we use our talents and platforms to build arts equity that lasts? This episode of CMA Talks, "Confronting Marginalization through the Power of the Creative Life," features a discussion between artists and arts administrators about what's missing in the equity conversation. We also listen to a selection from Amina Figarova’s "If Barrels Could Talk"—the score of which appears in the spring issue of Chamber Music magazine. The conversation, which has been edited for clarity, was held originally recorded at CMA's 2023 Chicago Chamberfest, held on June 2 at Pianoforte Chicago.

Produced for Chamber Music America by Nichole L. Knight and Orchid McRae.
