Ep 6 — Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser

For Episode 6 of The Remote Podcast, Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser—the Barrett Principal Education Conductor & Community Ambassador for the Toronto Symphony Orchestra—talks about how the organization intends to make the most of the $3.85 million donation recently announced. In a wide ranging conversation, we discuss how this donation enables Daniel to help pursue his vision for the TSO’s community outreach; what he makes of his journey thus far as a black, gay conductor in classical music, as well as the gender-disparity on the podium. If you’d like to learn more about Daniel—he’s got a very interesting story—do checkout his documentary with the CBC titled ‘Disruptor Conductor’. It is streaming now on CBC Gem.

Ep 5 — Michael Mori, Artistic Director of Tapestry Opera

A great conversation with the very smart and very savvy artistic director of Tapestry Opera, Michael Mori. Tapestry really leads the way when it comes to commissioning full length Canadian operas. We talk a great deal about how the company is navigating their programming through the Pandemic. We also talk about their livestream concerts, their Women in Musical Leadership program (the application for which is available at tapestryopera.com ) and wrap with up with a stretch of his view on what it means to do away with the gap between how an organization presents itself, in regards to being pro-diversity, and what it actually does to promote diversity.

Ep 3 — Matthew Loden "Collaboration rather than education"

Episode 3 of the REMOTE podcast: A great conversation with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra’s CEO, Matthew Loden, about the array of programs that the orchestra has put together to replace the fall programming they originally intended. It’s pretty cool to see some of the initiatives they’re taking part of in the broader community, from the AGO to the YMCA. We also talk about the nuances in how an orchestra gets to a more diverse and inclusive space, like the pros and cons of blind auditions for example.
