After months of uncertainty, the Emerging Black Composers Project (EBCP), launched in 2020 by the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and the San Francisco Symphony, is back on track. In early March 2025, SFCM and the SF Symphony announced the program was paused, citing a memo from the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights that instructed schools to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion efforts or face the possibility of losing their federal funding.
The musicians of the SF Symphony plan to protest their wage cuts outside Davies Hall, highlighting ongoing contract negotiations and their struggle against budget constraints.
