From Rags to Riches - The Journey of Joplin's 'Treemonisha' (with Rick Benjamin)

This week, in another longer episode, we are honoured to be joined by American conductor and music-historian Rick Benjamin, to discuss the history and context of Scott Joplin's only surviving operatic work 'Treemonisha'. Alongside this, we address some misconceptions about the little-known life of the great composer.
