“Joseph Conyers is a fit 38-year-old whose regular workout … favors weightlifting over cardio,” writes John Marchese in Tuesday’s (2/4) Philadelphia Inquirer. “But on a recent Monday … Conyers got moving enough to break a sweat [after conducting] a five-hour rehearsal of the Philadelphia School District’s All-City Orchestra…. Conducting is something of a side hustle for Joseph Conyers. His real job [is] playing bass with the Philadelphia Orchestra, where he won the assistant principal chair in 2010…. Conyers makes a point of being visible, regularly giving inspirational talks to students…. Project 440 [is] a nonprofit music education project that Conyers founded with several musicians…. Project 440 … helps public school students develop their musical skills and train into broader life skills, with an emphasis on building community…. Project 440’s Doing Good program is devoted to social entrepreneurship…. One of the Doing Good success stories is called Generation Music, conceived by two All-City woodwind players—Chloe Cooper and Claire Casanova—to introduce classical music to underserved schools. Starting with $500 in seed money from Project 440, the group found further outside funding and in 2018 registered as a 501(c)3 nonprofit. Cooper and Casanova are now university music education majors.”
