Rhiannon Giddens is on the latest episode of BBC World Service’s Music Life with fellow musicians Alela Diane, Mariee Siou, and Uwade. They discuss the spark that goes off when songwriting goes well, how moments of personal growth and transition affect their music, thinking of taxes while performing, and more.

Giddens began a weekend of collaborative events with a concert in Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium in New York City last night with Our Native Daughters, her group with Amythyst Kiah, Leyla McCalla, and Allison Russell. It was the second of Giddens’ programs as Perspectives artist for Carnegie Hall’s 2022–23 season. Tonight, Giddens, Francesco Turrisi, and bassist Jason Sypher join the Charlotte Symphony for a one-night-only performance at the Belk Theater in Charlotte, North Carolina.
