During the pandemic and the quarantine, I didn’t have any public events to attend — no community to “engage.” And now that events are returning, I can’t seem to say no to a single event. Whether it be performing, directing, music directing, or accompanying, I have more to do now than before the pandemic.
How do I choose? Well, fortunately, that answer is easy. I choose joy. I choose kindness. I choose events and activities that “spark joy,” as Marie Kondo would say (did you also thin out your closet during the pandemic?).
My joy is sparked by creating artistic opportunities within communities and Orbit Arts does just that. At 13 satellite locations across Tulsa, Orbit Arts offers free arts programming and instruction to anyone who wants it and through a variety of disciplines.
Another opportunity yet to reveal itself is our TPAC Youth Choir, which will launch soon, offering a unique opportunity for youth singers from across Tulsa to learn and perform choral and vocal literature on our stages here at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center and across Oklahoma! As a former choral director in the public schools, this opportunity speaks directly to my soul — as does Orbit Arts.
Access to the arts is essential in building strong, resilient communities across Tulsa. Won’t you join us in this mission to blast #intoorbit?
Jeremy Stevens
Sincerely,
EXPLORE the possibilities
