25. Brandyn Lewis and Allison Migeon: BIPOC Representation in Classical Music

32m · Non-Essential Workers · 22 Jun 17:56

Brandyn and Allison are the Artistic Director and Executive Director of Ensemble Obiora respectively. The mission of Ensemble Obiora is to uncover and disseminate works by composers of colour whose work has been omitted by Western classical music. They aim to promote diversity, equity and accessibility in the Canadian classical music scene and create a sense of belonging in underrepresented racial communities. We discuss being black in classical music, the mission of Obiora, and even get to hear the meet cute which led to this formidable duo! EDIT: Joseph Bologna's mother was a slave and her father owned plantation / Joseph Bologna's mother was a slave and father was a plantation owner. www.ensembleobiora.com
