One thing that has driven me is acknowledging that classical music is a weight-bearing pillar of white supremacy. It's a fact. What are we doing if not actively trying to express something contrary to that? We're all classically trained musicians—we were classically trained in a specific tradition that continues to be held up as a sort of bastion of white, European progress. And what are we doing as students of that tradition, if not being directly outspoken against it?
