"Have Ya Heard" is a podcast aimed at exploring beyond the traditional repertoire of the classical canon. In these episodes, I try to bring in composers of BIPOC backgrounds, women composers, and of other overlooked histories and bring light to the amazing works they have created!
Episode 1: Late Romantic Women
Episode 2: The Transformation of Classical Music
Episode 3: A Composer Over Time
