Ep. 004 - Stitching Together an Authentic Musical Voice with Shelley Washington music/Maker with Tyler Kline
-
- Artes cênicas
On today's episode of music/Maker with Tyler Kline, Tyler is joined by composer Shelley Washington.
Shelley Washington has emerged as an important and powerful voice of her generation. Her music has been presented by leading ensembles including the Long Beach Opera company, Boston Lyric Opera company, the Kansas City Symphony, and in NPR’s Dolly Parton’s America podcast and Vox Media’s Explained on Netflix. Washington is an active performer and collaborator, co-founding the composer collective Kinds of Kings and performing in the Los Angeles based ensemble, Wild Up and in her Brooklyn-based band, Good Looking Friends. She is on faculty at New York University Steinhardt and completing her PhD at Princeton University. She lives in Brooklyn with her dog, Rodeo.
This is a really amazing and lengthy conversation, but it’s a good one: Shelley and Tyler talk discuss how she’s taken big swings and chances in her career; growing up in the Midwest and how that part of her identity filters into her music; her love of all things textile arts; the impact that her neurodivergency has had on her creative practice; how she turns her own opportunities into advocacy for other underrepresented artists; and lots, lots more.
