Opus 151

Led by rap duo Thee Phantom and The Phoenix, the Illharmonic Orchestra masterfully links classic hip-hop with "classical" music in a way that's wowed audiences from Carnegie Hall, Philadelphia's Kimmel Center, and countless other venues. The duo joins Garrett in this week's third movement to talk about their recent developments, the Illharmonic Orchestra's upcoming Juneteenth concert, and more. Scott offers insights on TV themes from decades past and celebrates Pride Month with a Lil Kim accidental and music by Orville Peck. Garrett engages the conversation of "Jewface" as it applies to an upcoming Leonard Bernstein film, and shines a light on film music by Terence Blanchard. All of this and lots more!
