Episode four, in which we discuss Lydia's experience preparing for and participating in the Midwest Music Research Collective virtual conference in March 2021. She presented her paper titled, "The Black American Sound: Examining The Influence of 1930's Chicago on Classical Music at Large." We also dive into the erasure of Black Americans from the classical music canon, the inherent hierarchical nature of the canon, and cultural appropriation in music performance.
