Season 5, Episode 15: Unconventional Storytelling with District5 and Tara Hoot
In this episode, Jeff chats with members of District5, a DC-based wind quintet unafraid to program the seemingly impossible, and winners of a Paul R. Judy Center for Innovation and Research Grant. District5’s grant funded “The QUEEN-tet Project: A Symphonic Drag Story Hour,” a collaboration including Tara Hoot, an award-winning DC-based drag queen, and composer Christen Taylor Homes. Tara Hoot and Christen join the conversation to discuss the creation and impact of these performances, and long with conversations about all these musicians’ journeys.
