Welcome to Forza Tutti, the podcast where we explore the power of creativity and collaboration at the intersection of the arts, education, public policy, and social justice.

Inspired by musical terminology, "forza tutti" literally means "strength" and "all voices together" - and the phrase is used colloquially in Italian to mean "come on, everyone!"

Join us as we dive into conversations that ignite change, inspire action, and harness the collective power of creativity to build a more inclusive, equitable world. Episodes are hosted by Nicole Swanson and feature guests representing different perspectives on these multifaceted topics. Every week, we'll release two episodes: one recently recorded episode and one from the 2020 series "The Intentional, Effective Music Teacher."

Forza Tutti - where everyone plays a part, and together, we create something greater.
