Classical music culture is due for a serious overhaul. Why? Name a famous women composer, or a black composer....I'll wait. Classical music itself is amazing, but the the culture around the music has not always been inclusive. However, times are starting to change and many incredible underrepresented artist from the past are emerging. This isn't a podcast about the intricacies of a particular symphony, although we have rants, but an analysis of the culture and aesthetics of the classical world.

How do orchestras fit in a world with COVID and racial injustice?
<p>It is difficult to overstate how much COVID - 19 has impacted the world, and it is impossible to overemphasize how heinous George Floyd's death was at the hands of Derek Chauvin. People are discussing racial inequality and injustice, but are orchestra's listening? Companies and organizations have released statements, but too many are filled with affectations that leave communities questioning their sincerity. How can orchestras be genuine and sincere about their message? We explore this topic and more in today's episode. </p>

What's keeping you out of the concert hall?
<p>Live music is awesome. For my money, it’s the way classical music should be experienced. Recordings are nice when you don’t have the option, but experiencing the symphonic soundscape washing over me is second to none. However, there are a lot of things that can deter people before they even make it to their seats that classical musicians often take for granted. There is the jargon (concertos, opus, etc.), other languages to figure out, traditions, attire, and all sorts of rules that come along with this experience. Fortunately, many of those things are changing for the better. On this episode we discuss those changes and why some traditions are outdated, while others make complete sense.</p>
