"We musicians don't think of ourselves as harmful people"

Tuesday, November 16, 2021 • Duration 17:54

The composer, pianist and climate activist Gabriela Lena Frank talks about the environmental damage caused by the music industry, how her significant hearing loss has impacted her career, the issue of cultural appropriation, and how the music industry's "emphasis on perfection leads to a perfect imperfection of soul."

Gabriela on her hearing loss: “I don't know what it's like to have normal hearing. And there are advantages. I like working in silence. To me, not being able to turn your ears off is like not being able to close your eyes. Imagine if you had sight on all the time. It's kind of horrifying to me.”

The dangerous "fetishization of new music"

Thursday, July 15, 2021 • Duration 20:39

Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra composer-in-residence Tarik O'Regan and executive director Courtney Beck discuss the "fetishization of new music," Tarik's upcoming opera and Concerto for Oud, how to properly compensate and commission composers, and "the dirty truth" of why many composers prefer writing for period-instrument orchestras.

"I think with this fetishization of new music, we've got into this rather needy thing. When you look at a lot of marketing around contemporary music, a lot of it is based around how much you're going to like it. And I think that's a very dangerous way to go because inevitably some people don't like it."
