Our guest today is Titus Underwood, America’s first Black principal oboist of a major orchestra, playing for Nashville Symphony. He was recently awarded the 2021 Sphinx Organization Medal of Excellence which is the highest honor bestowed by the Detroit-based social justice organization dedicated to transforming lives through the power of diversity in the arts. Titus has created several viral projects that have made an enormous impact in creating a more anti-racist music community. I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Titus as we explored ways for American musical organizations to become more culturally conscious. Titus shares brilliant ways to enrich our understanding of Black Culture and the roots of uniquely American music. Learn more about our guest through the links below!
