For 27 years, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra has trained young Black and Latinx musicians through the Talent Development Program (TDP). We continue to celebrate these students with a virtual 2021 Spring Concert featuring our four seniors: Kaitlyn Brown (violin), Alexandria Carrillo (clarinet), Rodney Clark (percussion), and Gordon Meeks (violin). Enjoy their stories and musical performances with host and guest performer Okorie "OkCello" Johnson. Congratulations to the TDP Class of 2021.
Audience: Music lovers of all ages
Time: 52 minutes
Okorie Johnson is an American cellist-songwriter who performs under the moniker OkCello. His artistry integrates cello performance, live-sound-looping, improvisation, and storytelling - all culminating in original compositions that collide classical with jazz, EDM, reggae, and funk.
