Race & Racism in Classical Music
I talk to the conductor and activist Brandon Keith Brown about race issues and racism in Classical Music. He knows what he's talking about, having grown up in South Carolina as an African American, early venturing into the high-end (and very white) Classical Music world. Since 2015, Brandon is based in Berlin and conducts major european orchestras. He also regularly writes about issues of classical music and race on his website.
