Welcome to another episode of ART CLASS, dear classmates! On this week's episode, we continue our discussion about creating more equitable and inclusive spaces in classical music with Lecolion Washington, a brilliant musician who's blazing new trails as the Executive Director of the Community Music Center of Boston (0:05:32). And boy, do we talk about it all: fundraising, DEI initiatives, mentorship, a life-changing encounter with Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and more! It's a conversation you don't want to miss! After that, part two of Paige's Kinfolk conversation with Gambian kora virtuoso and founder of The Gambia Academy, Sona Jobarteh (0:46:38). In this installment, Sona talks about why it's so important for her to preserve African traditions for future generations and for people across the African diaspora. Plus, Morning Announcements with Emilia (0:42:55) and a little Pure Black Joy (1:04:35) to get you through to the end of the week. Take your seats, because class is in session, y'all!
Hosts: Lee Bynum, Rocky Jones, Paige Reynolds (Mabolé Inawale)
Guests: Julia Bullock, Sona Jobarteh
