TRILLOQUY

For the past several years, the South Dakota Symphony has engaged local Indigenous communities through dialogue, music making, and recently, with a new recording! The ensemble's Music Director, Delta David Gier, and resident artist, Bryan Akipa join Garrett and talk about racial relations in South Dakota, the formation of the Lakota Music Project, and what the impact has been for white and Indigenous communities. Garrett and Scott celebrate Esperanza Spalding and offer feedback on the upcoming film, "The Chevalier", and share music by Nina Simone, Ned Rorem, and many others.

Support for TRILLOQUY comes from Schubert Club: schubert.org

What is TRILLOQUY?

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.
