On now, @GenXClassical hosts Friday Morning Classics, featuring @DanielPioro @ShekuKM@olagjeilo@CristinaSpinei & more, chosen to expand your notion what #classicalmusic can be. Stream all our independent, member-supported programs via https://t.co/eqxa0wo5Ac 📻
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
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

Thanks to you responding to the call we programmed you @gitarra @candice_gtr @dlmckevitt and @LindaLister1 for airplay this morning and now you'll be featured on our playlists at @prx.✨ More to come from others on the list...
@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!
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
