Jessica Messere: Queering Classical Music, Intersectionality, and Trans Partnerships

What’s it like to come out as a lesbian, fall in love, and then have your partner transition to a guy? We talk to Jessica Messere about their pansexual identify and how it intersects with race. We also talk about their work as a professional cellist and educator that just happens to be Black and Filipina. You can help support the SMF Jazz Academy by donating here
