@WMNR_Radio @GenXClassical @DanielPioro @ShekuKM @olagjeilo Thank you, friends! 😊

[Nathalie Joachim @NathalieJoachim]

Words about my work that I’ll cherish forever: “Black liveness, Black women and Black spirituality arrive at the center of the classical music table.” Thank you #GeorgeLewis and @nytimes for including me in this glorious display of #BlackExcellence. ✊🏾🖤 https://t.co/FOePhE1ton

[Nathalie Joachim @NathalieJoachim]

Also, let this hit: “If Black lives matter now more than ever, hearing Black liveness in classical music also matters. The alternative is an addiction to exclusion that ends, as addictions often do, in impoverishment.” - George E. Lewis for @nytimes

[GenNextClassical @GenXClassical]

@AmeliaClarkson_ Are the Soundcloud links of your recordings OK for airplay on (US) public radio re: rights?🤞Please DM us a confirm when you can & thanks for answering the call!

[GenNextClassical @GenXClassical]

Gatekeepers in the major concert halls and at radio stations are too comfortable with how white the playlists are on our stages and on our airwaves. And why the continued silence when classical music is so openly embraced by xenophobes and white supremacists? #SilenceIsCompliance
