And the The the Hello and I and I'm the artistic director of the

Lozan Chamber Orchestra in Lozan, Switzerland. This podcast is for anyone who loves classical

music, works in the field, or is just getting ready to dive into this amazing world of incredible music.

Today it's part two of my week-long focus on composers of color here on sticky notes.

I'm happy to have with me Unleye, who is one of the founders of The Dream Unfinished, a New York-based activist

orchestra working in part to highlight the work of minority composers and performers.

I attended their concert last year and as I said a couple of days ago was blown away

by the performances by the committed advocacy of the organization and of course by the

music itself. Music that I'm ashamed to admit I was almost

completely unaware of. Now a quick preamble to the interview as the founder of an

activist organization, Eun is an eloquent advocate on issues such as racial and social justice.

And there's no avoiding politics when it comes to these discussions.

Now this isn't a politics podcast, it's a classical music podcast, but I welcome her comments on what are really important issues that are relevant to the arts community and of course to the rest of the world.

I hope that no matter what views you hold that you'll find this interview interesting.

Next week we'll be back to our regularly scheduled non-political programming.

And just one last thing, The Dream Unfinished is performing their full orchestral concert

in New York this Sunday June 11th

featuring the works of some of the composers I mentioned on Tuesday's show the

Chevalier de Saint-George Samuel Colerich Taylor and William Grant Still, along with works of Teresa Carrenio, Margaret Bonds, George Walker, and a world premiere by the young composer Evan Williams.

And without further ado, here's my interview with Unley,

executive producer of the Dream Unfinished.
