In this episode, Jose speaks to clarinetist Anthony McGill and trombonist Weston Sprott, who also run Juilliard’s Music Advancement Program (MAP). The program is designed to recruit students from underrepresented communities in an effort to increase diversity in classical music. To celebrate the program's 30th anniversary, the students and faculty have put together a special concert at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine on May 14.

McGill and Sprott talk about what drew them to classical music (and their instruments of choice) as children, as well as why they like teaching and what they have learned from their students.
