About the work, #tinyefforts2020, Alice writes: “In June 2020 I wrote the set of four pieces…I still don't know how to live with the mix of anger, grief, anxiety, listlessness, uncertainty, cautious hope, and beauty that I'm experiencing and that I see in the world around me right now -- but I'm trying. At the same time, I've been trying to think of small ways to stay in touch with my musical community, support people around me, elevate BIPOC artists, and how to do better in this world. I hope that this tiny project speaks to you, that it resonates with what you've been feeling, too.”
On the Stage Together is a KZbin series created by Ohio State's chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota celebrating diversity and inclusion in music. Performances include works by female and BIPOC composers, while lectures and discussions surround topics of diversity and inclusion in music.
