Now Hear This

 
Travel with your host, Mexico City Philharmonic chief conductor Scott Yoo, in this special mini-series taking viewers on a voyage of musical discovery for aficionados and neophytes alike. Each episode reveals the creative process behind a diverse range of classical music in both historic and modern-day periods. This season explores themes and stories of gifted young artists and virtuosos. Past seasons have explored  the lives of composers such as Robert Schumann, Aaron Copland, Florence Price and Amy Beach. You can find this series on PBS in the Great Performances series.

Classically Black Podcast

 
Classically Black Podcast shows listeners the world of classical music through the eyes of Dalanie and Katie: two Black classical musicians on the rise looking to share their perspective with a new and interesting twist. Classically Black Podcast challenges ideas of what the field of classical music looks like. Additionally, by including humour and references to popular culture, the hosts aim to make classical music more approachable to listeners who are not classically trained. At its core, Classically Black Podcast was created with the purpose of showing Black musicians that even in an industry that so clearly lacks diversity, they are visible and their voices matter. New episodes are out every Monday, wherever you listen to podcasts.
