Garrett and Scott offer a pre-recorded opus this week that features conversations about social media's role in "classical" audience development, organ music by Black composers, and the alleged connection between AirBnB and midwest orchestras. Violinist Asher Laub is featured in the third movement to unpack his unique journey and career creating covers as an electro-violinist, and the guys spend the final movement discussing their perspectives on the latest Kanye West sagas.

TRILLOQUY is made possible, in part, by Schubert Club: schubert.org
