Melissa White and Elena Urioste- Intermission

September 21, 2020 • Season 2 • Episode 10

In this last episode of series 2, I was absolutely thrilled to talk to these two wonderful women who have accomplished so much, both individually as violinists and also together with their business "Intermission" which combines Yoga, breathing & mindfulness with Music.
We had a fabulous chat about music education, the Benedetti Sessions and Melissa's Harlem String Quartet performing with the legendary Chick Corea and at the White House to President Obama. We also talked at length about race within the classical music world and how important it is for young people to see themselves represented on stage.
I do hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did making it!
