LA Opera Podcasts: Behind the Curtain

Behind the Curtain LIVE: Celebrating Women Composers

Enjoy this inspiring conversation with composers Juhi Bansal, Gabriela Lena Frank, Nia Imani Franklin and Laura Karpman, moderated by mezzo-soprano Suzanna Guzmán. These women are redefining classical and film music, while smashing preconceptions and barriers for other artists. Each has become a champion of a more vibrant and inclusive future. 

This podcast was recorded on December 3, 2020 as part of a live, Zoom event in partnership with The Hildegards, Arts for LA, and the Women’s Opera  Network of OPERA America.
