Our podcast mission is to amplify women’s voices on the podium by interviewing conductors, educators, and composers while exploring the gender divide. There is a significant gender gap in the field of choral music, and we hope to inspire future women by highlighting the talents, successes, and struggles that currently exist. This podcast aims to serve as a resource for educators currently in the field and others who hope to join the choral community as teachers, conductors, and leaders.
