Adhering to COVID safety protocols, the Princeton Symphony Orchestra opens the 2022 Spring Season at Richardson Auditorium with Kenneth Bean conducting, and featuring violinist Alexi Kenney.
by The League of American Orchestras reports that African-Americans make up 1.8 percent of orchestras nationwide, so for Bean, being a conductor of color really means something to him. “Absolutely it does,” he said. And again for him, it relates back to his calling of working with young people.
He believes that seeing a person of color at the podium will help young people change their mindset and be able “to expect women, to expect Black people, to expect brown people, to expect anyto be able to step into this sort of role and just not having it be just like a white-oriented or white-led field.
Also on the program will be Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s Ballade in A Minor, Op. 33 and Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9, “From the New World.” “From the New World” provides a window into Dvořák’s interpretations of musical elements he encountered during visits to the United States in the late 19th century. And the present-day meaning of the title isn’t lost on the conductor.
