On
Sept 22, 2012 MusicUNTOLD, KUSC Classical Radio and the Colburn
Foundation presented a concert celebrating the 150th Anniversary of the
EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION at the AT&T Center Theatre downtown Los
Angeles. The concert included solo and duet performances by violinist
Sanford Allen (who became the 1st African American violinist hired by
the New York Philharmonic Orchestra in 1962) and Los Angeles violist
Nokuthula Endo Ngwenyama.
The
Los Angeles Philharmonic presented the Los Angeles premiere of
Nokuthula Endo Ngwenyama' "PRIMAL MESSAGE" Dec 3, 4, 5 at Walt Disney
Concert Hall. Dale Breidenthal has been a violinist in the Los Angeles
Philharmonic Orchestra for over 37 years and a long time friend of
Nokuthula Endo Ngwenyama. See Dec 5 pic of violinist Breidenthal with me
following the concert at Walt Disney Concert Hall. Some reports
indicate less than 2% of musicians in American orchestras are African
American.
