We tried for over two months to get this episode to happen, but our schedules refused to cooperate until just a few days before Christmas. Reena has some wonderful things to say on a host of topics, and I think that this is the perfect way to close out the year on a note of reflection and coming together.
During the course of our conversation, we chatted about:
- What community feels like in the world of new music
- Being inclusive, especially beyond the world of musicians
- The “underbelly” of niche marketing
- The pull of feeling like a representative for a minority
- Being a woman composer
Some composers Reena thinks you should know about:
Derrick Spiva Jr.
Valerie Coleman
Jeffrey Mumford
Juan Pablo Contreras
Gabriela Lena Frank
