Things Musicians Don't Talk About

70. Queerness and power abuse in classical music: Tár & Maestro


Listen Later

Another chatty episode for you lovely lot! This was recorded for our last Voices radio slot in February 2023. Hattie and Becca chat about queerness in classical music, exploring our opinions on the films Tár and Maestro, and how we feel power dynamics and hero-worship were portrayed in them. As we've seen over the past few decade or so, teacher-student relationships can be such a dangerous environment if those positions of authority are abused, and so we take a further look into what exactly it is about them that musicians don't talk about and why.


We always love to hear from our listeners, and if you like the show why not recommend to a friend or leave a review?
