Shaquille Southwell, with Antiguan and Kittian heritage, achieves a historic milestone by becoming the first black principal clarinettist for the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO).
The 30-year-old Juilliard graduate honed his skills in Japan and performed with prestigious orchestras.
His grandmother expressed immense pride, highlighting his dedication and practice.
Southwell’s journey had its hurdles, including a robbery that temporarily set back his progress.
He learned vital lessons from his mentor, renowned clarinettist Andrew McGill, emphasizing expressive playing and imbuing emotion into music.
Southwell’s aspirations extend to inspiring young woodwind musicians in Antigua and Barbuda, urging them to seek diverse musical perspectives.(Observer)
