Dr. Marianna Ritchey, author of Composing Capital: Classical Music in the Neoliberal Era, talks to Classical Traitor about the stifling lack of imagination in the classical music industry. The two discuss how well-meaning but naive liberal identity politics in classical music institutions are paving the way for a right wing backlash against social progress in those same institutions.
