Sophie Lippert is a cellist and pianist in Western Massachusetts, and creator of the unique genre-inclusive Connections Concerts series. In this episode, we discuss how Sophie uses her classical background to elevate and expose works by underrepresented composers, while also balancing her roles as a teacher, event curator, and entrepreneur. We dive behind-the-scenes in crafting Connections Concert Series, from musical curation and community building to genre balancing and the fascinating people who perform… and attend.
