In this episode, Angela and Joshua welcome Portia Dunkley, founder of the New Canon Chamber Collective. Sharing her all too familiar experience of young Black classical musicians being few and far between in the industry, Dunkley found her passion and motivation to create and cultivate an ensemble that identifies, elevates, and celebrates the contributions of the African diaspora within the genre in Miami, FL. Dunkley features "Symphony No. 5" by William Grant Still and "The Oaks" by Florence Price on the Collective’s inaugural concert, affirming the sounds of Blackness and Americana in classical music.
