Ellie and Ben are a pair of black and white (respectively) besties who like talking about classical music. Sure, Bach’s great and all that, but what about the composers they don’t teach at school, the ones who don’t have pale skin, curly wigs or a Y chromosome, the composers you might not know so well? Each week, Ellie and Ben chat through an underrepresented composer they think you should know better, swiping left or right on the classical musicians neglected from history and choosing whether to add them to their brand-spanking-new, DEI-friendly canon.

Episode 8: Amy Beach

This week, it’s finally happening... we’re talking about Amy Beach, and no one is happier about it than Ben. In fact, he might actually say she’s his favourite Patribachy composer (bold claim indeed).

But, in true Down with the Patribachy fashion, it takes us an embarrassingly long time to actually get there. Along the way, we get somewhat sidetracked by Virgo discourse, cultural appropriation in folk-inspired music, and wheth.

Also this week, Ellie may or may not say something so outrageous that Ben threatens to retire from the podcast entirely. Will he go through with it? No. But is it dramatic? Yes.

It’s chaotic, it’s unhinged, but it’s a great time, as always.
