Marking Juneteenth with the Minnesota Orchestra

jeudi 19 juin 2025 • Durée 46:02

Juneteenth has long been celebrated in Black communities to remember June 19, 1865, the day that enslaved African Americans in Texas learned they were free.

After becoming a federal holiday in 2021, broader community celebrations began in cities around the country, including the Minnesota Orchestra’s annual Juneteenth concert tonight at Orchestra Hall in downtown Minneapolis.

MPR News host Angela Davis talked with the guest conductor of the Juneteenth concert and one of its organizers about the contributions of Black American composers and how classical music is being shaped by Black American music traditions, including gospel, jazz and the blues.

Tickets to the 7 p.m. concert were still available as of Thursday morning. The concert will also stream live on YourClassical MPR with host Melissa Ousley.

Guests:

Jonathan Taylor Rush returns to guest conduct this year’s Juneteenth concert with the Minnesota Orchestra after conducting the concert in 2024. Now based in North Carolina, Taylor Rush was associate conductor of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra from 2020 to 2023 and is in demand as a guest conductor around the world.

Grant Meachum is director of the Minnesota Orchestra’s Live at Orchestra Hall season, which includes the Juneteenth concert and more than twenty other special programs every year featuring film presentations, holiday celebrations and collaborations with popular artists.

Make a game plan for your summer garden

mardi 3 juin 2025 • Durée 47:23

Summer is starting, the days are getting warmer and if you’ve got a garden, it’s calling for your attention.

Maybe you're growing tomatoes on the back deck or trying to fill your yard with vibrant flowers. Or maybe you’re just trying to stay one step ahead of those pesky weeds.

Whatever your gardening goals, summer is the season when gardens can really shine — or struggle.

MPR News host Angela Davis talks about what grows well in our region, how to time plantings, how to fix common garden problems and how to keep your soil — and your plants — in good shape all summer long.

Catherine Grant is a horticulturalist who manages the greenhouses, medicinal garden and pollinator habitat for the Department of Biology at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul.

Power Pair: The Hardeman twins and their shared commitment to equity

jeudi 19 décembre 2024 • Durée 46:25

Rachel Hardeman and Simone Hardeman-Jones are identical twins who share more than DNA. They also share a commitment to addressing racial inequities.

Rachel Hardeman is a professor at the University of Minnesota whose research is used nationally to show how racism affects health. Her work illuminates the disparities between the experiences of Black mothers during pregnancy and childbirth and their white peers. This year, she was named one of TIME’s 2024 most influential people in the world.

Simone Hardeman-Jones has spent most of her career in education policy, including four years at the federal level working in former President Barack Obama’s administration. Now she heads GreenLight Fund Twin Cities, which is changing how philanthropy can better listen to communities to identify unsolved problems and introduce solutions.

MPR News host Angela Davis talks with the two sisters about their work and how they support each other as part of our MPR News Power Pairs series.

We’d love to hear your ideas for Power Pairs to interview in 2025. We’re talking with prominent Minnesotans who you may know of separately but who reveal something new when we sit them down together. Maybe they’re married or siblings or best friends. They could be business partners or a parent/adult child dynamic duo.

Preventing the perils of road rage

lundi 16 décembre 2024 • Durée 46:44

It’s the most wonderful time of the year … unless you’re running late, the roads are icy and someone races past you and then cuts you off.

According to a Pew Research Center study, about half of Americans say people in their area are driving more dangerously than before the pandemic.

And aggressive driving is one of the leading causes of traffic deaths in Minnesota.

As more of us tense up and hit the roads over the next few weeks, MPR News host Angela Davis and her guests talk about how badly some people are driving and the angry responses of other drivers.

Guests:

Mike Hanson is the director of the Office of Traffic Safety for the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.
Ryan Martin is the dean of the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay where he is also a psychology professor who researches and writes about anger.

If you see unsafe driving on state highways that does not need immediate attention, you can report it to the State Patrol: Report unsafe driving | Minnesota Department of Public Safety
