Season Finale, Emily’s Story

In this podcast, hosts Claire Barber and Emily Zwijack explore the occasionally uncomfortable dynamics that come with being a classical musician, surviving music school, the struggles of mental and physical health, abusive power dynamics, and so much more.

Barber (mezzo, 28, classical vocal performance BFA, 2020) and Zwijack (violinist, 22, violin performance and music education BM, 2024) are dedicated to creating a safer, trauma informed space for classical musicians who have survived abuse, burnout, disability, chronic illness, and discrimination.
