Statement about violence against Asian community
SFCM denounces hatred in all its forms and stands in solidarity with our Asian, Asian American and Pacific Islander community.
We support you.
The contributions to society by those who identify as Asian, Asian American or Pacific Islander are cause for pride and celebration – particularly at SFCM, in San Francisco and within the performing arts.
Especially in moments of violence and racism, including those that have increased in recent months, we denounce hatred in all its forms and stand in solidarity with our Asian, Asian American and Pacific Islander community near and far.
You are welcome here and you belong here.
We believe that one of the greatest gifts of music is that it teaches us to listen. In turn, we learn and we grow. At SFCM, we take pride in learning from our AAPI faculty and students alike and embrace the gifts that their cultures bring to our school and beyond it.
