Reimagining Presenting, Association of Performing Arts Professionals, New York City

January 12, 2024

At this panel, we presented our Recommendations for Ethical Pay and Professional Protections for Working Musicians to advocate for a transparent and dynamic pay scale for musicians’ labor. Whether forging new local and regional partnerships, building more meaningful and sustainable community connections, embedding clauses into contracts for more equitable engagements, or advocating for more transparent fee structures, colleagues across the country are re-imagining our ecosystem. Hear about the shifts and trends already underway.
