Clive Myrie is talking with people of colour about their experiences of being classical musicians. He’s interviewed a range of people and, of course they have a range of experiences. He’s been saddened and shocked by some of their stories but also heartened and inspired by some of the thoughts they’ve shared.
In this last programme, he talks with musicians of colour about how they see issues of diversity today in classical music and what the future might hold. The musicians are Willard White, Danielle de Niese, Reginald Mobley, Linton Stephens and Allyson Devenish.
