Among BOA's Leadership Council members is soprano Jayme Alilaw, who joins Garrett to talk about art, activism, and accountability. Scott honors Annie Lennox in the second movement, and offers his thoughts on dealing with hecklers in arts spaces. Both Scott and Garrett revisit the conversation surrounding the controversial Emmett Till opera, and spend the weekly TRILLOQUY responding to a UCLA job posting that offered zero pay. \r\n\r\nPlaylist:\r\n\r\nBob Dylan - \"The Death of Emmett Till\"\r\nBuskaid Soweto String Ensemble - \"Sunrise\" \r\nEdgard Varese - \"Ionisation\"\r\nChen Gang and He Zhanhao - \"Butterfly Lovers Violin Concerto\" (perf.
