Classical Agitators (w/Garrett McQueen)

Happy Wednesday, Scorekeepers! That's right; new episodes of THE SCORE will now be released every other Wednesday. And have we got a guest to break in our new schedule! This week, we're joined by musician, activist, tastemaker, radio presenter, and host of the deservedly popular Trilloquy podcast: Garrett McQueen! Tune in for a lively and informative discussion about Garrett's life in music, the stagnation of white supremacy in classical music spaces, and the thriving community of brilliant Global Majority artists here in Minnesota. And of course, we couldn't possibly leave you without a little Pure Black Joy to get you through the rest of the week. Let's do it to it, ya'll!

About the Podcast

The Score
News and commentary about art and pop culture seen through an antiracist and anti-oppressive lens
It's time to put the arts on game! Hosts Lee Bynum, Paige Reynolds, and Rocky Jones are three Black, queer artists and pop culture aficionados, who are working every day to bring more diversity, equity, and inclusivity into the arts. Noted by The New York Times as one of the "Podcasts Opera Pros Tune To" in 2021, The Score is their provocative, thoughtful, and humorous commentary on the industry's past, present, and future, as seen through an antiracist and anti-oppressive lens. Each episode features a variety of stories from a variety of perspectives that bring People of the Global Majority, queer, trans and nonbinary folks, and everyone else into the discussion of ownership over and access to the arts. From the opera house to the statehouse to your house, each episode will amplify the voices of those in the field who are pushing the boundaries of what opera is, who it is for, and how it can transform us and our communities.
