Episode description

Music educator, multi-instrumentalist, theatre maker, dramaturg, and singer Gilberto Vega shares his journey (casi una telenovela) from Penn to the present, including several important stops to explain how he got backstage at Hamilton, why we need a Latinx version of The Wiz, and - why is Miley Cyrus attacking Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart with a wrecking ball?? Check out Gil's bilingual music education and outreach work with POPS In Schools @ Home, and find him on Twitter and Instagram as @soygilbertico.
