Dear Bill,

I hope all is well with you and that you have been keeping safe.  I wanted to take a moment to introduce you to my new podcast Cool Hand Adventures - a classical music series unlike any other which discusses a range of topics from social issues to performance practices, sensitive encounters, and beyond.  This series is meant to shine a light on a wide range of discussions which are, or should be, very important for all of us to consider – hopefully even resulting in positive changes for the future.

Episode 4, Black to the Future, may be of particular interest to you, as we celebrate Black History Month.  Highlighting notable Afri-classical musicians of the past and present, this episode takes a deep-dive into both "should-be" household names as well as other notable figures who have made significant contributions and respective impacts on the classical music industry through their performances, compositions, transcriptions, arrangements, teachings, leadership, and musical inspiration.


As always, I wish you all the very best and continued success.

Sincerely,
  
Luke Welch
