read anne lundy’s article reporting on conversations she had with three symphonic conductors. classical music originated from one of the most fermentive melting pots of society-europe. even though this type of music has gone on to be employed by individuals from numerous cultures outside of europe, it is still sometimes assumed to be "owned" by people of european descent. in this reading, three conductors who are african-american reflect on their experiences and values. reflect on what you read in this article. include in your reflection what you think is the real difference between saying "i’m a black conductor" and "i’m a conductor, and i’m black."
