CHQ&A with Aaron Dworkin - 2024

Aaron Dworking answers questions following his 2024 lecture: What lessons from the classical music community's journey toward inclusion and diversity might be relevant for Chautauqua’s analogous journey? Can you share a transformative story or lesson about allyship from your own experience? Why did you choose the name "Sphinx" for your organization, and how do you select students for Sphinx—do you consider potential beyond current achievements? Do you believe the current de-emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion in our institutions will have negative consequences for your efforts? Can you elaborate on the significance of your jacket's design and the statement it makes? What resources would you recommend for parents raising their children to hear and engage in diverse stories and perspectives through classical music? How did your relationship with your adoptive parents and birth parents evolve? -- As a not-for-profit organization, all of Chautauqua Institution's programs and offerings are made possible by philanthropy.
