Brown Art Network: Reimagining Classical Music (w/ Rizwan Jagani)

Redefining ABCD

In this episode of Brown Art Network, Sneha and Keerthi talk with Rizwan Jagani, an American new fit musician who is a Western classically trained violist. They discuss Rizwan's experiences studying Western Classical music and how he blends modern and classical styles to bring his niche in a traditional, puritan world. While they discuss what it means to be a "new fit Musician", they break down what it means to be a South Asian creative and stay true to yourself in a field that still practices traditional methodologies. In addition, they talk about how the South Asian competitive attitude can affect the way certain South Asian creatives are unable to get a seat at the table in industries they hope to grow in. They wrap the episode with advice on how to grow in the Western Classical field and how the field is growing to modernize and blend music styles to continue to thrive in this modern society.
