On Saturday and Sunday, June 12-13, the pioneering Mutual Mentorship for Musicians (M³) initiative, co-founded by Jen Shyu and Sara Serpa to foster creative partnerships among woman musicians worldwide, presents six world premieres of collaborative work at a virtual M³ festival via the National Jazz Museum in Harlem.
Hosted by M³ Editor-in-Chief Jordannah Elizabeth, each premiere will be followed by a Q&A with the artists, who will answer questions from the audience about their creative process. Register for these free streaming events here (June 12) and here (June 13).
M³ has also released The Art Of Being True: M³ Anthology of Writings, the first of a rare archive of writing that takes control of the narrative with regard to the work of underrepresented musicians. It is available for free from online literary arts publication, Publik / Private.
