FESTIVAL MAHOGANY "SHATTERING THE GLASS CEILING" SYMPOSIUM AND CHAMBER CONCERT

Rutgers University–Camden presents Festival Mahogany, a weekend of outstanding concerts featuring award-winning conductor Marlon Daniel leading Symphony in C, in two spectacular concerts with renowned artists, virtuoso cellist Ifetayo Ali, and scintillating soprano Karen Slack.

Chancellor of Rutgers University–Camden, Antonio D. Tillis Ph.D., moderates a panel of diverse internationally renowned classical musical artists: conductor Marlon Daniel, cellist Ifetayo Ali, soprano Karen Slack, and composers Tania León and Fred Onoverosuke discuss the state of the Arts and Culture in the 21st Century. This conversation will examine the “Glass Ceiling” and how it has changed throughout history for People of Color in the arts and, more importantly, how to improve Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the world of Classical Music.

After the symposium, enjoy a concert spotlighting the composer's work.
