NPR Music interviewed composer Missy Mazzoli.
I didn't meet another female composer until I was in my 20s, and I didn't meet a professional female composer until I was in college. I didn't really have colleagues in my early career who were other women. That sort of support network is essential as an artist — having people around you who can share that aspect of your experience is really key. Anytime you're the only "something" in a group, that is usually not the ideal circumstance in which to thrive and be creative.

I spoke to people about what they thought about the legacy of slavery: Did they feel like the islands were still affected by the legacy of slavery? What had been passed down in terms of memory? Was there anything still structurally on the island that they felt was affected by slavery? That sense of a memory gap between the Caribbean and the U.K. was a very prominent theme. In the U.K., the way that we remember slavery and teach it as history is very, very different to what’s remembered in the Caribbean.
