Show Notes
Danielle talks with Roderick Cox, one of the only African-American orchestra conductors in the world. He discusses his groundbreaking journey from a gospel choir in Macon, Georgia to conducting symphonies on the world stage, and how the coronavirus outbreak has impacted his path to becoming the first Black conductor of the New York Philharmonic. Roderick reflects on the inspiration he seeks from Black trailblazers like Serena Williams and Barack Obama, and how he inspires young musicians who follow in the path he is helping to pave. Danielle and Roderick discuss the power of music to connect people and provide a sense of hope and community, something that so many have had to rely upon during this pandemic.
