A new and exciting episode of the Piano Pod is only days away!

New Episode Alert with a guest, Dr. Artina McCain - Award-winning Pianist, Yamaha Artist, Wellness Advocate, and Educator! 🎶



I had the pleasure of interviewing Artina McCain for The Piano Pod Season 5, Episode 6 of The Piano Pod, and this conversation is one you don’t want to miss!

As a passionate advocate for underrepresented composers, Artina has dedicated her career to promoting diversity in classical music. I was thrilled to ask her about the challenges she’s faced in pushing for greater representation and the positive stories of success in her advocacy work.

We also discussed her inspiring solo album Heritage, which blends spirituals, classical forms, and folk influences, spotlighting Black and underrepresented composers. 🎹✨

But that’s not all! Artina also shared some exciting news with The Piano Pod's listeners exclusively: her next album, coming out next year, and her recent collaboration with Solange. 🌟🎤🎧

We dove into deep topics like:

✨ The progress of Black artists and composers in classical music 🎼
✨ The lasting impact of the Black Lives Matter movement on representation in the arts ✊🏾
✨ How institutions can better support composers of color and create pathways for musicians to ✨ rise 🌱
✨ Artina’s personal journey of overcoming struggles at the piano and finding joy and authenticity in her artistry ❤️

Please experience her beautiful work by listening to her Heritage album on streaming platforms (https://open.spotify.com/album/4j8oMhweC1fI48Q8pi8E3u?si=-e8SdpXTToe-J1O6jUcjLw) or purchasing it directly from her website: https://artinamccain.com/new-heritage-album.
