Danielle Eva Schwob: Colouring Outside the Lines of Genre

And Declassify returns! We’re already halfway through this season, so quickly! This week the podcast welcomes none other than cross-genre whiz and interdisciplinary extraordinary, composer, performer, producer and curator Danielle Eva Schwob. Currently based across New York City and Los Angeles, Danielle is a staggeringly active artist and musician across multiple forms and disciplines. Her music has been featured at Lincoln Center, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! and Philip Glass’s MATA Festival, just to name few. In this episode Danielle discusses her interdisciplinary practice and recent works and how they sit outside, through and within the discipline of classical music and how contemporary  “classical” music is expanding its boundaries and begins to bleed into new territory. In fact, this episode asks of us – do we even need to call it classical music anymore?
