In this episode of U-M Creative Currents, we sit down with NPR’s correspondent and New York Times classical music critic Anastasia Tsioulcas—an award-winning journalist who has shaped national conversations around music, identity, and culture. As the inaugural Knight-Wallace Arts Journalism Fellow at the University of Michigan, Anastasia brings a unique perspective on the evolving role of arts journalism in a shifting media landscape.

Whether you're a journalist, arts enthusiast, educator, or student, this conversation offers a powerful reminder of why arts journalism and criticism still matters.
