Advocate for Yourself

Our featured guest for Episode 5 is Cristina Cutts Dougherty, (she/her), tubist, and, (in my opinion), professional badass. Originally from South Africa, Cristina has lived and traveled to various countries and all over the states, making music all the way. In this episode, Cristina and I discuss the gender inequity issues that exist in brass playing and in the symphony orchestral world, as well as the hurdles that female brass players have to conquer from Day 1.
