Episode Synopsis

from Oct 4, 2020: "Gabriela Lena Frank is 48, but wants to live to be 100, when we've re-imagined a better, greener society. For her, that starts with her music-making. GLF is a composer and pianist based in Northern California and founder of the Gabriela Lena Frank Creative Academy of Music. In our conversation and by example with the GLFCAM, she articulates what a genuinely eco-friendly musical practice could look like, easily connecting a range of big topics from climate change to capitalism, the ubran/rural divide, and authenticity, encouraging us to shed our over-perfectionism in order to overcome our paralysis. We also talk about her multi-cultural heritage and the journey that is connecting with one's roots." GLFCAM: https://www.glfcam.com/
