LOCAL CLASSICAL – HOST OKARA IMANI

Local Classical Featured Playlist – 12/27/21 – 01/09/22

Hey, Starshine! This is Okara Imani, Media Production Fellow for Classical Music Indy, and your guide to The “I” in Classical Music. I’m here to highlight the cultural and social intersections of the classical art form, beyond the Classical Period and beyond the constructs of Euro-centric high society origins. In my view, peoples around the globe have music traditions, classical to their cultural heritage. There are also so very many people participating in classical music, evolving its execution and adding new perspectives to the soundscape. At the crossroads of ethnicity, gender, and genre in a journey to re-contextualize the classical art form and allow yourself to see yourself reflected there, let’s find the “I” Classical Music.
