World Music Month or Global Music Month features concerts, presentations, and panels. 

For this journal you are playing the role of a large-event promoter - "The Global Music Festival." Your job is to select scholars, artists, journalists, creatives -- folks who will present dynamic content to audiences in your community (you want to turn out a large audience to ensure the success of the festival for future planning). 

Develop a rough draft (in real life your pitch to the financial supporters would be more polished) listing one of each:

1. a music scholar
2. a social influencer
3. a musical artist

Include information about your selected presenters, including (a) name, (b) what they do, (c) a link to their work -- academic, journalistic, or creative.
