Growing up in the bohemian beach town of Encinitas, near San Diego, California, Priti Gandhi showed early interest in music and performance. But she was a first born child in an Indian immigrant family that placed high value on job security, so a career in the arts was not even a consideration. In college, Priti signed up for voice lessons to counter the demands of her journalism courses. The moment her voice instructor introduced her to opera, her path in life changed. Many Roads to Here is a production of The Immigrant Story. This episode was produced and edited by Elayna Yussen with sound design by Rick March and post production by Greg Palmer. The original interview was conducted by our Executive producer, Sankar Raman. Thank you to Priti Gandhi for providing the live opera music you hear in this episode and to St. Andrew Lutheran Church in Beaverton for the use of their space to record the interview. This episode is a part of a series exploring the stories and experiences of Asian Americans in a climate of Anti-Asian rhetoric and increasing violence. It is produced as part of the Oregon Rises Above Hate coalition and made possible by a generous contribution by Anne Naito-Campbell.

Greetings, Scorekeepers! We're back from our vacation with a very special new episode of THE SCORE! And why is it so special, you ask? Because for the very first time ever, Paige, Rocky and Lee are actually recording the show in person in the same room at the same time! What a treat! And on this week's episode, after a brief lamentation on the state of the world, we celebrate some of the incredible POC making huge strides in the opera world, like MN Opera's very own Priti Gandhi who will take the reins as the amazing new Artistic Director at Portland Opera this fall! (Yay, Priti!) Then we're joined by artist, educator and MN Opera Creative Programs Manager, Rebecca Blackwell, who gives us some frank and frankly beautiful insights into what it's like to live and work at the intersection of education and EDI, as well as the immeasurable ways equity-focused arts education programs can change kids' lives for the better. Then it's time for another round of America's favorite new game show, Fire That Canon! This time around we discuss Aida and Porgy and Bess. Can either be presented responsibly in 2021? And finally, as always, we've found more than a few reasons to be joyful this week, so we'll send you out into the weekend with a little PB&J! Let's do it to it! And please note, we'll be switching our release day to Monday starting with our next episode! See you then!

The requiem has long been a popular form among composers, and celebrated practitioners of the genre include Mozart, Verdi, Brahms, Berlioz, and Britten. Unlike those of his fellow composers, Fauré’s Requiem contains no Sturm und Drang, no thundering crescendos or rallying cries to the deceased. Rather, it’s a gentle, contemplative work, more of a meditation on transience than an exhortation. It contains most of the form’s familiar elements, including mixed chorus and soloists (in this instance baritone Jonathan Nussman and soprano Priti Gandhi), but they are employed in service of an effect that is uniquely Fauré’s own. This piece has steadily gained in popularity and the final section, “In Paradisum,” is familiar to many from its use in several films, television programs, and commercials.
