A cello career can begin in the most unlikely place and still end up on the world's biggest stages. We sit down with acclaimed cellist Seth Parker Woods, a fearless advocate for contemporary classical music and a leading voice for commissioning new works, to trace the real steps behind a life in music: the early spark, the teachers who mattered, and the moment the path starts to click.We talk about what draws him to living composers, why electronics and electroacoustic experimentation can expand the cello's voice, and how you build “performance practice” when a piece is brand new. Seth also gets candid about the parts musicians rarely say out loud, including what to do when you are committed to a piece that does not fully resonate, and why professionalism still means putting your best foot forward for first hearings and recordings.From there, we dig into his albums and the storytelling choices inside them. Seth shares the meaning behind From Ordinary Things, inspired by Toni Morrison's poem “Shelter,” and how works by André Previn, George Walker, and Tania León connect to lyricism, identity, and community. We also explore Difficult Grace, his genre-bending, autobiographical project that puts him on stage as cellist, narrator, and movement artist, and what that kind of production teaches you about freedom, pressure, and pivoting fast.We close with an honest conversation about representation, being a Black cellist in classical music, and why access to instruments, teachers, and school programs shapes the entire pipeline. If you care about the future of music education, new music, and sustainable musician careers, this one will stay with you.

Today's Black History Month episode serves also as a belated birthday tribute to the exceptional African American soprano Faye Robinson, who was born in Houston on 2 November 1943. Robinson has a voice that transcends genre, encompassing both lyric-coloratura roles at one end and pure dramatic soprano repertoire on the other. In addition, she has been created vocal works by some of the greatest twentieth-century composers, including Michael Tippett, two of whose major vocal works she premiered, and with whose compositions she is especially associated, and George Walker, whose Lilacs she premiered in 1996 with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and which subsequently won the 1996 Pulitzer Prize by the judges' unanimous decision. Robinson's immediately recognizable voice presented in a wide-range of repertoire, including the works referenced above and also including arias by Handel, Gounod, Offenbach, Bellini, and Handel, as well as the Chevalier de Saint-Georges; as well as concert work by Schoenberg and Barber. All in all, Faye Robinson's is a voice and artistic presence well worth getting to know better! Happy Belated Birthday, Diva! Countermelody is the podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

In this episode, Dave and Andrew discuss a song cycle in all but name, George Walker's Lilacs. From the outside, this win looks like another lifetime achievement award, but is it? And does Lilacs remind them of music from an earlier period in the Pulitzer's history? If you'd like more information about George Walker or Lilacs, we recommend: Ginger Sharnell Jones-Robinson's DMA document, "An Analysis of Selected Vocal Works by George Walker" from the University of South Carolina, 2023.

George Walker is an artist, educator, and historian, who is best known for his books about public figures ranging from Leonard Cohen to Tom Thomson. George tells these stories without words, using only images printed from wood he engraves. These wordless novels, as they are known, are in the tradition of works by Frans Masereel, Lynd Ward, and Otto Nückel, all famous artists who have inspired George and whom he has written about in his more academic books on creating relief prints and on appreciating wordless novels. I was excited to have George on the podcast because I think there is something profound about his art and his medium that can really benefit kids. First, wordless novels are accessible to everyone, regardless of their language or level of literacy. Children at every age can pick them up, engage their imaginations, and infer a story. As a child develops, a great wordless novel affords the inference of more nuanced stories or even different stories all together. Second, relief printmaking is an inexpensive technique that children can learn very quickly to make their own stories or individual art pieces, but, while it is easy to pick up initially, relief printmaking scaffolds perfectly, allowing infinite room for children to challenge and develop their skills. Of course, George explains all of this better than I do. More information about George and his art is at talkingaboutkids.com.
George Walker III, a recipient of the Roots Fund scholarship, shares his incredible journey and the impact it has had on his education and career in the wine industry. The Roots Fund, founded in 2020 by Carlton McCoy, Aikimi Dubeau, and Tahir Habibi, aims to provide opportunities for black individuals in the wine industry. George expresses his gratitude for the support he has received from mentors like Matt Nauman and Carlton McCoy, who have helped shape his education and career. George recounts how Matt Nauman, the previous president of Wade Sellers, suggested that he would benefit from working harvest in Burgundy. Taking this advice to heart, George reached out to Carlton McCoy, a master sommelier and the founder of Lawrence Wine Group. To his surprise, Carlton responded and invited George to his home, where they had dinner and discussed the wine industry in Napa. This connection eventually led to George becoming one of the first recipients of the Roots Fund scholarship, allowing him to participate in educational programs and gain valuable experience in the wine industry. George emphasizes the importance of being open and accessible to others who are seeking opportunities in the wine industry, particularly for black individuals. He believes in paying it forward and being a vessel for others, just as he has been supported and mentored by many people throughout his journey. The conversation then shifts to the topic of racism in the wine industry, specifically in Burgundy. George asks Carlton about his experience as a black person in Burgundy, to which Carlton responds that France has never been a place for racism. In fact, France has embraced American talent, including jazz musicians, who found success and acceptance in the country. The discussion then turns to winemaking and the different approaches that winemakers can take. George highlights the diversity and versatility of wine, comparing it to an art form where the same grapes can produce completely different wines in the hands of different winemakers. He appreciates the beauty of wine and the ability to express both the land and oneself through the winemaking process. They then delve into the details of the wines George is currently making. He introduces the 2022 Chenin Blanc, a wine made from 100% organic fruit sourced from the Wilson Family Vineyard in Clarksburg. George explains that his goal with this wine is to pay homage to the history of wine growing in California and bring Chenin Blanc to the forefront. He praises the versatility of Chenin Blanc and its ability to appeal to a wide range of wine drinkers. The conversation continues with a discussion about the 2020 California Cabernet Sauvignon that George is producing. He explains that in a normal year, they would have produced a Napa Cab, but due to the circumstances in Napa, they decided to make a California Appalachian Cab instead. The majority of the grapes for this wine come from the Bedrock Vineyard, with some additional grapes sourced from Mendocino and Paso Robles. George describes the wine as true to type, with a touch of acidity to bring freshness and liveliness to the wine. The conversation then shifts to consumer preferences and the influence of well-known brands in the wine industry. George shares an anecdote about how during the COVID-19 pandemic, customers who typically purchased wines in the $12 to $18 range started buying $100 wines like Austin Hope and Caymus. He acknowledges that there is something for everyone in the wine world and encourages wine drinkers to explore and discover other producers who are doing incredible work. They discuss the importance of educating consumers and introducing them to new wines and styles. George believes that there are amazing producers out there who deserve recognition and appreciation beyond the well-known brands. He emphasizes the need to have fun and explore different wines, stepping outside of one's comfort zone. The conversation concludes with a reflection on the impact of storytelling in the wine industry. George expresses his belief that it's not just about the celebrity status or the marketing, but about what's inside the bottle. He believes that when people taste a wine that expresses something unique and tells a story, they will be compelled to try it again and share their experience with others. Overall, the conversation between George Walker III and Carlton McCoy highlights the importance of mentorship, diversity, and exploration in the wine industry. They discuss the beauty of winemaking as an art form and the ability to express both the land and oneself through the process. They also touch on consumer preferences and the need to educate and introduce wine drinkers to new and exciting wines. It is clear that George is passionate about spreading the gospel of "dope juice" and making a positive impact in the wine world.
