Karen Slack on Service and Legacy

Tacet No More: a new podcast where we are asking the questions that need to be asked, and saying the things that need to be said about classical music. This is an optimist's playground and a landing pad for positive discussions about our belief in the power of music to better humanity, and we will invite voices - from all sectors - to inspire us and the work we do on and off the stage. Hosted by Joseph Conyers and Yumi Kendall.
