Customer Reviews
Classical music is okay…
…But the Trilloquy podcast makes it great! This show shines a light on the marginalized and encourages everyone to think better, listen better and BE BETTER. I look forward to new episodes every week and been listening for yearss now. Thanks G&S for sharing your voices!
More research and better listening skills
The new director of the Baltimore Symphony is biracial. He is well established in Europe. Do your homework. Please. He may have been American born but he was European bred. I enjoy your podcast however it appears that you ofttimes don’t do good research on subjects you want to dismiss.
A Necessary Part of Every Weekly Routine
For anyone considering a career in performing arts or programming of any kind and cares about how their work includes and reflects all people, you must listen to Trilloquy. Not only does Trilloquy provide insightful, relevant, and critical perspectives on current events in the modern performance ecosystem, it also brings attention to how many of our established practices and traditions directly stem from oppressive and colonized culture norms. Episodes of Trilloquy are an important addition to the toolkit of what is needed to dismantle white supremacy in the arts.
