Classical Queeros

10 episodes

1 week ago

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.

8. Julius Eastman

Better late than never! On an episode that was released almost a week and a half late, Shahid and Alice talk about Julius Eastman, a remarkable Black gay composer and musician who lived in New York in the 60s (during something called the Stonewall Riots......maybe you've heard of them?)

Julius Eastman was decidedly himself in everything he did, no matter what anyone else thought. His works were provocative to say the least. Let's all look to him this Pride Month as an inspiration to be ourselves in the face of a world that tells us we can't.
