What is TRILLOQUY?
Garrett McQueen had long been unhappy with the culture surrounding "classical music", so in 2016 he left his career as a professional bassoonist to help shift the genre forward through broadcast media. Along the way, he discovered conversations within the world of "classical music" that deserved more attention. With the help of his friend and colleague, Scott Blankenship, the two created TRILLOQUY.
Season one's structure was inspired by a loose sonata allegro form: introduction/exposition (host conversation), development (guest interviews), recapitulation/conclusion. For season two, Garrett and Scott present each opus in a four-movement structure: Accidentals (the week in events, brought with a sharp, flat, or natural), Strike a Chord (our must-hears for the week), Take a Stand (guest conversations/interviews), and the TRILLOQUY (the weekly "true" and "real" message).
From May of 2019 to April of 2020, TRILLOQUY was a product of American Public Media, based in Saint Paul, MN. Today, TRILLOQUY is a brand, a project, and an initiative led by its Execute Producer, Garrett McQueen.
