Timothy Chooi’s trailblazing research and work in changing classical music through community outreach recognized with University of Ottawa's EDI in Research Award
n an announcement from the University regarding the Award, Chooi stated, “The performing arts, and classical music in particular, have often lagged behind other fields in implementing EDI principles in meaningful ways. …My research is not only artistic but social. It seeks to connect people through performance, community engagement and cultural dialogue.” “I am interested not only in who performs and listens, but in how and why we perform, and in the cultural legacies we carry, challenge and pass on.”
