The news release says: « BPO Diversity Council IDEA Award is honoring those in our community who create an inclusive, diverse, equitable and accessible environment in which music flourishes. The orchestral music world should reflect, and be accessible to our whole community. We seek to break down barriers for participation, especially for those who are underrepresented in the artform. We recognize that we must all work together as a community to create an inclusive, diverse, equitable, and accessible environment in which music flourishes. »
