A series of concerts celebrating the joy of music-making and Bard’s commitment to presenting unjustly neglected works.

Healing and Transformation

Responding to the events of 2020, the projects in this season explore and reflect on what it means to live through and create work in the midst of a pandemic, global crises, and political turmoil. Audiences will be invited to experience and engage with each of these projects in entirely different ways, yet together the season seeks to build community and activism in isolation.

Disrupting Systemic Oppression

On June 1, the Fisher Center issued a statement in solidarity with Black Lives Matter, which represented our commitment to addressing issues of racial inequity in our organization. A 10-member cohort of Fisher Center staff formed in the following weeks to address matters of equity, diversity, and inclusion. This Equity & Inclusion Working Group will be sharing regular updates on their work in the weekly e-News and on the Fisher Center’s new Equity & Inclusion webpage.
