Classical music can seem so straight, white, and boring. Hosts Shahid Osuna and Alice Park are on a mission to prove that it's not! Each episode, Shahid and Alice take turns teaching the listeners and each other about a queer hero in classical music who often goes ignored. They're here to gay up the classical sphere - and to remind us all that we can take everything a little less seriously.

Shahid shares his research on the amazing Sarah Hennies: a trans performer, composer, and filmmaker, with a studious and ready-to-learn Alice! Join us as we learn about her upbringing, as well as a few of her works and words on the intersectionality between her music and queer identity. Please go check her website out at sarah-hennies.com
Works Discussed (all by Sarah Hennies):
Contralto
The Reinvention of Romance
Falsetto
Humming Suite

Reservoir 2
