"I spent years pursuing excellence: what classical music is all about. Now it's dedicated to freedom; that's far more important." -Nina Simone #NamMyohoRengeKyo

CLASSICAL MUSIC has been misappropriated as a musical genre and a culture rooted in the aesthetics of Western Europe.
TRILLOQUY is the weekly podcast built to DECOLONIZE the traditional definitions and conversations surrounding CLASSICAL MUSIC.
