Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles under the baton of founder/conductor Charles
Dickerson season opening concert was presented at Holy Name of Jesus Catholic
Church in Los Angeles, Nov 6, 2016. With anticipation of a solo performance by UCLA
student and pianist Shanice Aaron, I went to my classical music library and
listened to Natalie Ninderas. Natalie
appeared as soloist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra under Zubin
Metha at the Hollywood Bowl in the summer of 1972. As a resident of Long
Beach, California, Natalie Hinderas accomplishments as a female classical
pianist and composer of African descent is of special interest to me. Natalie was
a close friend of deceased Long Beach Superior Court Judge Marcus Tucker’s
mother and Natalie visited the Tucker home in Long Beach before her astonishing
debut with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl. Additionally, I reflected
on multiple astonishing accomplishments for African Americans during the tenure
of Maestro Zubin Metha and unequivocally crown Zubin Metha as the most
significant conductor in the history of the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra for
the uplift of African Americans in classical music.
