Reports From the Field: Building a New Social Contract for Community Engagement Through Musical Virtual Hangouts
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This field report provides insight into the nature and reach of a community engagement program called Virtual Hangouts developed by the community office of the New World Symphony (NWS), in Miami, Florida (USA). Functioning under the umbrella of a larger, digitally oriented program called “Connect,” the case presented here is productive and instructive, not simply because it provides insight into some forms of participatory culture within a traditionally highly autocratic environment—the symphony orchestra—but, more complicatedly, because of what it tells us about what can be accomplished regarding institutional adaptation and what forms of resistance are created along the way. This brief account explores virtually oriented community engagement from a social capital formation lens and how institutions such as the NWS establish policy frameworks to orient projects such as these in areas that are not usually explored by traditional organizations.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
