Amarillo Symphony Statement on Cultural Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging
“Music does bring people together. No matter what language we speak, what color we are, the form of our politics, or the expression of our love and our faith, music proves: We are the same.” John Denver
The Amarillo Symphony believes there is power in music…to inspire, captivate, engage, heal, and unite people. In that spirit, we are committed to:
- Using music to bring our community together
- Being an arts leader, leading with respect, tolerance, and humility.
- Making everyone feel welcome, including but not limited to those historically excluded due to race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, age, ability, and the intersection of various other identities.
- Engaging our community with captivating programs that reflect our region’s diversity.
- Actively championing music that promotes cultural equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging in all we do.
