Beyond the Pandemic: Twin Cities Music Showcase was sponsored by the University of Minnesota’s Liberal Arts Engagement Hub and School of Music and was curated by CLA faculty Beth Hartman, Sumanth Gopinath, and Teresa Gowan. It was oriented around the Twin Cities music scene and was part of a larger project, “The Sound of Precarity: Musical Labor During and After the Covid-19 Pandemic,” which gave musicians a chance to talk about the effects of the pandemic on their lives and livelihoods. It also provided paid opportunities for musicians to perform for an audience consisting of Univ. of MN students, faculty, staff, and community members. The showcase and interviews were recorded at The Hook and Ladder in Minneapolis on December 14, 2022.
