Notables - Ep 5: Anthony McGill

We had the privilege to speak with Anthony McGill, leading soloist, principal clarinet of the New York Philharmonic, and the first African-American principal player in the organization’s history. Hailed for his “trademark brilliance, penetrating sound and rich character” (New York Times) and recipient of the 2020 Avery Fisher Prize – one of classical music’s most significant awards – Anthony shares with us the people and experiences that have shaped him as a musician, his perspectives on the importance of music and art, and how he has used his platform to promote justice, equity, and understanding.
