This recognition marks a powerful turning point. What began in 2020 as a podcast to connect classical music with the modern world is now stepping boldly into its next chapter.
Season 6 premieres this fall under a brand-new theme: Creativity & Community — exploring how classical musicians are reimagining their roles, building unexpected collaborations, and reclaiming artistic expression in today’s ever-changing world.
And for the first time, we are bringing our podcast to life with a LIVE concert experience: 📍 October 2025 | Stiefel Hall, NYC – An evening of performance, conversation, and connection, featuring a robust lineup of trailblazing women in classical music:
Dr. Jee-Hoon Krska – Founder of Keys 2 Success, Juilliard-trained pianist, and MIT-trained engineer, providing real-world musical opportunities for youth in Newark.
Eleonor Bindman – Pianist and arranger known for her accessible, elegant Bach transcriptions and global educational impact.
Dr. Nnenna Ogwo – Founder of Juneteenth LP, building concert and education experiences that amplify music of the African Diaspora.
Donna Weng Friedman – Pianist, filmmaker (Never Fade Away), and faculty member at Mannes Prep, whose award-winning projects blend storytelling, heritage, and advocacy.
“This live concert is more than a performance — it’s an extension of our mission to build community, inspire creativity, and make classical music more accessible and relevant.”
— Yukimi Song, Executive Producer & Host
So what’s ahead in Season 6? Expect honest, soul-stirring conversations with guests who are pushing artistic boundaries, and a growing community rooted in joy, inclusion, and a deep sense of purpose.
