| PT28: Should I Pursue Band or Orchestral Conducting? | 27 Aug 2018 | 00:22:13 | |
The Podium Time audience has spoken! Luke and I are incorporating shorter discussion episodes into this second season and the listeners (accidentally) decided on the first topic. The question that we've been sent the most by our listeners is...drum-roll... whether one should pursue a master's in band or orchestral conducting! Today, Luke and I sit down to chat through the different options in terms of style, range of groups, and repertoire, as well as how you can get a bit of experience in both. | |||

| How to Build Audience Diversity, with Jeri Lynne Johnson | 31 Oct 2022 | 00:29:09 | |
Building audience diversity is not about PR programs, Black History Month concerts, or playing diverse composers on a few programs. It's about not reducing an entire population in our community to the color of their skin. Building audience diversity is about realizing that "diversity" is more nuanced. It's about realizing that we connect by building relationships. It's about not Expensive PR campaigns that attract diverse audiences to a single concert (if at all). These don't result in lasting change because diverse audiences don't feel welcome in our art form. They may know that we are having a concert, but they do not care. Even the fact that we refer to diverse audiences as "they" in these paragraphs makes it clear that this discussion is long overdue. Today, we talk with Jeri Lynne Johnson about her consulting work with DEI Arts Consulting and how they take classical music organizations through the process of understanding diversity. She shares why standard "diversity" programs aren't effective, what actually motivates diverse audiences to attend events, and how telling diverse stories in the arts is the key to equity and inclusion for the rest of our culture. Learn more about Jeri Lynne at JeriLynneJohnson.com, DEI Arts Consulting at DEIArtsConsulting.com, and the Black Pearl Chamber Orchestra at BlackPearlCO.org. 01:30 Jeri's DEI Arts Consulting practice and why diversity consulting is not about a one-time fix 03:14 Redefining "Diversity" and what organizations, especially classical music organizations, get wrong about diversity, equity, and inclusion. 10:22 Diversity beyond race and building relationships with your community 18:44 Black Pearl Chamber Orchestra: how it developed from a need to engage audiences of color and change what orchestras were offering. 23:56 The importance of diversity on the stage and the role it plays in the diversity of the audience 27:19 Closing and Plugs

The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Home Alone, Fantasia, E. T., The Godfather. We see headlines like these on symphony seasons more and more often, but what is it actually like to conduct one?

| PT15: "The Only Words you have to Utter," with Eduardo Navega | 05 Mar 2018 | 00:49:14 | |
Before the founding of Podium Time, Luke and I compiled a list of conductors that we just had to have on the podcast, and Eduardo Navega was right at the top! We worked with him at the Bard Conductors Institute (I've typed that sentence so many times on these pages!) and every student there could attest to his kindness and love of the craft. We were both surprised, looking back, that it took us this long to have him on the show (our fault, not his!), but here he is, and we're excited to share this conversation with such a great conductor and teacher. | |||

How do you put an orchestra and a full concert together in only two rehearsals? We talk about that and more this week with Adam Torres and Noelle Bauman.

I met Chris Kelts for the first time in 2011 at String Fling, a summer string program hosted by Missouri State. Even before he stepped on the podium, we all knew that we were going to love him. He returned in 2015 as the newly-appointed director of orchestras at Missouri State, and I still wish I could have gotten more than one year to study with him. From Missouri State University, Luke and I talk with our friend and former/current teacher, Dr. Cristopher Kelts, and learn about the best way to schedule concerts, why you need to conduct opera, and Dr. Kelts’ unique meditation technique.

| PT5: Study, Singing, and Sincerity, with Gerrit Scheepers | 01 Oct 2017 | 00:45:58 | |
What we intended to be light conversation about score study quickly turned into a full interview with one of our best conducting buddies that explores what we are doing with our lives and our music. Gerrit Scheepers is currently working towards his doctorate at Washington State, and we were so glad that he could take some time to talk with us about singing, study, sincerity, and what he has learned in his time as a conductor. In this episode, we discuss learning from within an ensemble, how to let the music create your gestures, and Luke’s adventures singing Schubert’s 8th Symphony! | |||
| PT4: Probing the Score, with Mark Mandarano | 16 Sep 2017 | 01:05:41 | |
Last year I stumbled upon the perfect opener to my chamber recital on a CD by the Sinfonietta of Riverdale, a premier chamber orchestra founded and led by Mark Mandarano. Initially I contacted Mandarano to get some advice for conducting the piece and for starting an ensemble, but what he shared was so insightful and helpful that I just had to have him on the podcast for a full interview. Little did I know that our discussion would go beyond starting an ensemble and conducting chamber music and so far into the realm of score study! So, put your headphones in and learn how to get Esa-Pekka Salonen in your audience, form a conducting class at Cornell taught by Karel Husa, and start truly getting the score in your head. | |||

Luke and I are just starting the second year of our Master's degrees and neither of us can really believe how much we've learned and how much our conducting has changed in just one short year.
