TRAILER: crescendo drops Tuesday, April 16!!!

Let’s shake things up! Welcome to Minnesota Opera's brand new podcast, crescendo: building the future of the arts. Hosts Rick X. Hoops (they/he) and Jared Miller (he/him) are both members of the Impact team at MN Opera, who have been friends for nearly 10 years. They are also two young, queer artists and educators who prioritize creating affirming, accessible spaces that foster sustainability and holism in the arts. crescendo is a new podcast that aims to provide young artists and anyone curious about a career in the arts with current perspectives on navigating performance art industries–from classical music to musical theater, from the stage to behind the curtain. Jared and Rick bring their experiences as young professionals who have built careers in performing, education, administration, and creative direction. Please join our hosts as they break down current topics with care, critical lenses, and a lot of laughter.
