Haz takes the lead in this podcast about female composers and women in music. Is there still a 'gender agenda' in the classical music industry, and is there enough female representation at the top table? Expect bold, beautiful music, frank exchanges and a contentious review of the film 'Tár'. Featuring pieces by Rebecca Clarke, Dani Howard, Rebecca Dale, Debbie Wiseman, Hildur Guðnadóttir, Rachel Portman and Florence Price.

This week on the podcast, Kenyatta D. Berry, host of PBS' Genealogy Roadshow and author of The FamilyTree Toolkit, debuts a new segment for Conversations with Kenyatta. These bite-sized episodes tackle forgotten individuals in history, whose stories need to be told. 

In this episode, Kenyatta examines Florence B. Price, an American composer whose work was thought to be lost in time - until one fateful day in 2009. 

The music for this episode, as always, is "Good Vibe" by Ketsa.

We are dedicated to exploring and discussing various aspects of genealogy, history, culture, and social issues. We aim to shed light on untold stories and perspectives that enrich our understanding of the world.

**Please note that some links in our show notes may contain affiliate links, on which Kenyatta receives a small commission.
