Description

On today's episode, Nick and his younger brother Jonathan discuss the beauty and symbolism of music. Jonathan is an accomplished pianist, a budding producer of his own music, and a seminarian at Gonzaga's Bishop White Seminary. He shares how his musical journey morphed from an emotional outlet into an encounter with the transcendent. Although Jonathan is classically trained, he's not afraid to bust some rhymes and drop the beats!
