Oftentimes things that are traditional or a part of the core of what institutions uphold go unexcavated, which is really detrimental. We say, 'Oh, this Beethoven symphony is nonpareil, the best thing that you could be listening to' so the institution doesn't go to the lengths of actually self-reflecting to tell the audience why.
The performance was the artists' re-enactment of the real-life moment Tines and Koh met and began collaborating on "Everything Rises," a staged performance that premiered at the University of California, Santa Barbara, in 2022.
Their collaboration on 'Everything Rises' traces family histories of racialized trauma and their own experiences navigating racism in the majority-white, tradition-bound world of classical music.
At a recent evening talk hosted by the Department of Music, Tines and Koh shared insights on how their artistic partnership challenges the traditional norms that dominate classical music.
