Speaking at It’s Not Just a Concert: How to Make a Classical Uprising
Dr. Emily Isaacson is fiercely committed to reimagining classical music for today’s audience. She is founder and artistic director of Classical Uprising, a performing arts collective that believes classical music must rise up, challenge current norms, and re-envision where, how, and for whom we make music. Isaacson was named the 2018 Maine Artist of the Year, one of 50 Mainers Leading the State, and a three-time winner of the American Prize. A St. Andrews Society Scholar, Isaacson holds advanced degrees from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland; the University of Oregon; and the University of Illinois.
