To Be Young, Gifted and Black, a new book by Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason, offers an intimate look at how her children navigated their professional path into the classical music world while exploring their cultural, racial, and national identities. A recommended read to understand the prejudices faced by young musicians of color in the classical music industry, and how we can help mitigate these challenges in our roles as professionals. Read more about the book in Classical Music’s review.
