Opus 152 - Third Sister

This year, Raven Chacon became the first Native American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music with his "Voiceless Mass". He joins Garrett (1:00:00) to talk about his reactions to the win, his perspective on Indigenous land acknowledgements, and more. Garrett and Scott cover a Lizzo misstep, unpack a maestro's words pertaining to "thoughts and prayers", and highlight music by Jennifer Higdon, Kendrick Lamar, and more. Scott takes the lead in the final movement to address racist reactions to Moses Ingram's recent role in "Obi-Wan Kenobi".
