Surviving sexism in classical music

This interview originally aired on In the Moment on SDPB Radio.

Women are underrepresented in the classical music industry. The few who make it to a chair on stage have more challenges ahead.

Lori Walsh talks to Nancy Williams, D.A., about her advice for women in classical music. Dr. Williams is a musician, educator, leadership coach and author of a booklet titled "Survival Guide to Sexism in Classical Music."

They discuss how to acknowledge sexism and address it while building a flourishing career.
