WDR Happy Hour - Barber
Conductor Roderick Cox achieved his breakthrough in 2018 with the "Sir Georg Solti Award." He used this recognition not only for international guest conducting but also to establish a support project for young musicians of color. In Cologne, the maestro builds a musical bridge between his American homeland and Europe, presenting Samuel Barber's first symphony, inspired by the composer's time in Rome, alongside Sibelius's popular Fifth Symphony.
