If you haven't seen Tár yet. Pause the podcast and go watch it!
Tár is the story of Lydia Tár, Music Director of the Berlin Phil, whose life starts to spiral out of control after a series of controversial revelations.
In this PT Chat episode, Jeremy and Luke discuss the movie, their favorite parts, and the negative messages it sends.
Part of what makes this movie so great is the depth of research and authenticity in the classical world. The conductor John Mauceri was consulted when developing the script, and the film features lots of real playing by the Dresden Phil.

Building audience diversity is not about PR programs, Black History Month concerts, or playing diverse composers on a few programs.
It's about not reducing an entire population in our community to the color of their skin.
Building audience diversity is about realizing that "diversity" is more nuanced. It's about realizing that we connect by building relationships.
It's about not Expensive PR campaigns that attract diverse audiences to a single concert (if at all). These don't result in lasting change because diverse audiences don't feel welcome in our art form. They may know that we are having a concert, but they do not care.
Even the fact that we refer to diverse audiences as "they" in these paragraphs makes it clear that this discussion is long overdue.
Today, we talk with Jeri Lynne Johnson about her consulting work with DEI Arts Consulting and how they take classical music organizations through the process of understanding diversity. She shares why standard "diversity" programs aren't effective, what actually motivates diverse audiences to attend events, and how telling diverse stories in the arts is the key to equity and inclusion for the rest of our culture.
