Opus 267 - "Casting the Pit" (feat. Joe LaRocca)
As the orchestral field continues to face its relative lack of diversity on stage, Joe LaRocca has dedicated work toward raising awareness around a lack of diversity under the stage. He joins Loki to talk about his experiences as a theater musician, the challenges he's faced engaging this topic among theater professionals, and the written word that supports this activism. Loki responds to the 2025 New York City mayoral election.
