Episode 42: Dwight Pile-Gray "Just put your toe in the water"

As a commentary on the times we currently live in, in preparation for some work this week, my nostrils have well and truly been penetrated.

Horn player, conductor, researcher and fellow podcaster Dwight Pile-Gray is my guest for Episode 42. He’s the creator of “The Black Maestro” podcast, and recently we chatted about the way the pandemic is changing up approaches to classical music, creating space in the industry and promoting excellence. This episode is also accompanied by a Spotify playlist of Dwight’s musical picks by composers Nathaniel Dett and Florence Price.
