On Deck with Maya Hausman

8m · All Classical Radio | On Deck with Young Musicians · 25 Feb 01:01

Amy Faust gets to know Maya Hausman, a senior at Cleveland High school who plays flute and piccolo (plus a little bit of clarinet!) for various school ensembles as well as the Metropolitan Youth Symphony. Maya started playing the piano at age 5, but as a member of the Cherokee Nation she was drawn early on to the native flute playing at the tribal gatherings her family would attend each summer. Her passion for classical music is matched by her drive to bring attention to indigenous history and justice. At Cleveland, she co-founded a native student union and is part of the campaign to change the school’s name due to Grover Cleveland’s anti-indigenous policies. For this segment, Maya plays a contemporary piece (Homeland, by Allison Loggins-Hull) that evokes her people’s history of displacement.

The episode On Deck with Maya Hausman from the podcast All Classical Radio | On Deck with Young Musicians has a duration of 8:43. It was first published 25 Feb 01:01. The cover art and the content belong to their respective owners.
