Brooklyn-based classical-fusion violinist Ezinma is breaking barriers for musicians of color and making classical music that is widely accessible and relevant for today’s world. "Classical Bae" transports classical music into the future by recalling and retelling the past. “It’s interesting,” Ezinma reminds us, “back in the day, Baroque music, the kind Bach was writing, you would improvise and embellish it in your own style. The rigidity of Classical music kind of came later. Originally, it was this fiery, wild music. It was the popular, hot music of the time. I wanted to bring that back. To remind people that even though Beethoven is 250 years old, it doesn’t mean that his music can’t be relevant.”
