This Yale Online webinar revisits Music and Social Action, a course originally launched on Coursera in 2016 that explores how musicianship can serve public and community good. Recorded on May 4, 2026, the session brings back course instructor Sebastian Ruth, a violist and founder of a youth-focused community music organization, to discuss how the course's ideas have continued to resonate with learners worldwide. Ruth reflects on the relationship between musical training and civic engagement, discussing how ensembles and music education programs can build social cohesion in underserved communities. The webinar format allows for a retrospective, conversational look back at the course's core arguments rather than delivering new curricular content, making it a useful entry point for viewers curious about the full course.
