Hailed by the New York Times as "gripping" and "evocative," Dr. Nkeiru Okoye has been commissioned by Juilliard's Preparatory Division to build a more diverse, inclusive future for young classical musicians. This interview with Dr. Okoye brought listeners into an intimate conversation about her revolutionary work that welcomes and affirms both traditional and new audiences. From her moving piece, "Invitation to a Die-In," which addresses the slaying of unarmed black men to the delightfully whimsical sounds of "Briar Patch," Dr. Okoye is blazing trails for generations to come!
