Matthew Troy on 2020: A Musical Response
Program: Piedmont Arts Podcast
Aired: Tuesday, November 3, 2020
Hosted by Rachel Stewart
The pandemic forced the Western Piedmont Symphony to rethink their concert season. They decided to create concerts and events that speak directly to the moment we're living in, including a multimedia project, "2020: A Musical Response," and a roundtable discussion on race in classical music. Music Director Matthew Troy talks about these and other events, and he'll explain why music is such a powerful means of communication in times like these.
