A former Barnes intern, Alison Boyd, now a post-doctorate fellow at Max-Planck-Institut in Florence, continues her research at the Barnes Archives which recently became accessible to the public. She opens up to Barnes conductor Robert Whalen and soprano Katherine Skovira about how music played an integral role in shaping the Barnes as a tool for education and democracy. Listen in on this informal and highly though-provoking conversation as Boyd draws connections between the Barnes collection and issues of race and American identity. Stay tuned for more of Verso: a behind the scenes podcast series exploring the creative minds of artists, thinkers, and performers who bring the Barnes to life.
