Podcasts about chicago children's choir

Josephine Lee is the president and creative director of the Chicago Children’s Choir. Before the COVID-19 crisis hit, she brought some of the kids to Shure's For Those Who Tour house for a special microphone workshop. Mark Brunner asked Lee about her classical music training, how she eventually joined CCC and the choir's important role in the city's cultural landscape.

In this week's episode, we sat down with the incredibly talented and versatile music producer and composer, Mitchell Owens. Join us as we walk through Mitchell's musical upbringing in the Chicago Children's Choir, his special experience working one-on-one with Justin Timberlake, we learn about the process of composing music for box office hits like Brampton's Own, Say You Will and The Book of Love, and his yearly travels across the world to collaborate with K-Pop's biggest sensation, NCT-127.

It's been a long time coming, but PMTA is back! On this ride, we picked up where we left off, discussing the year in music, its similarity to another golden era, 1996 (which just so happens to be a 20 year difference), and whether or not the Grammys got it right. With that in mind, we also discuss the importance of self affirmation as a historically overlooked community, and the value of good art over momentary appreciation. Eventually, greatness is recognized, and like our long awaited return, it's better late than never. Intro Credit: Welcome Back - Mase. Outro Credit: All We Got - Chance The Rapper ft. Kanye West & Chicago Children's Choir.
