First came Puccini. Then Mozart. Now Missy Mazzoli is premiering her newest opera “Lincoln in the Bardo” at @MetOpera and she’s the first woman to do it! She sat down with @davidgura and @EenaRuffini on Bloomberg This Weekend about her opera’s origin story.

"I started to create what I thought would be the extension of the interpolation of the original." @JonBatiste unpacks his new album, Black Mozart, with @oldmanebro. Watch their full interview now on YouTube and Apple Music. 🎼

Boston Symphony CEO Chad Smith said the orchestra, which recently parted ways with its brilliant and popular conductor Andris Nelsons, must serve communities “more expansively and inclusively” and think differently about “whose voices get to be heard, whose stories get to be told.” In her latest essay, @HMDatMI rejects that woke conceit with characteristic ferocity. “If a listener needs to see himself ‘reflected,’ it would be more efficient to take a selfie than to attend a performance of a Mozart piano concerto,” she writes. One listens to Mozart “to lose oneself in a bygone world of grandeur and beauty.” Down with phony inclusivity, she argues—and up with transcendent art.
