Embracing Classical Music

Traditional symphony orchestras across the nation are struggling with the same thing - how to make the audience more diverse and its offerings more inclusive. The Virginia Symphony Orchestra has been on a multi-year journey of attracting a new audience, with a focus on bringing more people of color into the world of classical music. We hear from Executive Director Dr. Andrea Warren and Tyler McKisson, a Fellow with the orchestra, about why they say classical music is for all. Plus, we hear from Deirdre Love and Andre Love with Teens With a Purpose, who share a marriage between hip-hop and the classics.
