“Coming up as a young musician, and even my professional career, I rarely if at all, saw myself reflected in the Classical music ensembles I performed with or in Classical music I played. As an educator, I believe that it’s my responsibility to do whatever is in my power, to not only change that narrative for my students, but also for my community.” ⁣ Meet our newest ACF connect partner, Portia Dunkley!
