Erica Snowden-Rodriguez, principal cellist in the Erie Philharmonic and Akron Symphony Orchestra, performs a streamed concert at Performing Arts Collective Alliance in Erie, Pennsylvania, June 2021.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cAnyone looking to take a core sample across the various strata of the Erie alternative music scene could look to the [streamed] concert series at Erie\u2019s Performing Arts Collective Alliance, [which] on a Sunday evening in June [featured] Erica Snowden-Rodriguez, the principal cellist of the Erie Philharmonic Orchestra and Akron Symphony Orchestra,\u201d writes John Chacona in Wednesday\u2019s (9\/22) GoErie<\/em><\/a> (PA). \u201cIn many ways, Snowden-Rodriguez, who uses the pronouns they and them, is the embodiment of a wave of change\u2026. The child of a Venezuelan mother and an American-born father, Snowden-Rodriguez is not only Latinx, but also identifies as queer\u2026. In 2008 \u2026 Snowden-Rodriguez entered a competition sponsored by the Sphinx Organization [and began] playing with the Sphinx Symphony Orchestra and \u2026 Sphinx Virtuosi chamber orchestra\u2026. Snowden-Rodriguez\u2019s PACA livestream program included works by African-American composers [and] Bach\u00a0\u2026 and ended with an original composition that incorporated the cellist\u2019s voice and live electronics. \u2018I’ve always been somebody who really wants to take classical music off its pedestal, and just bring it to the people,\u2019 Snowden-Rodriguez said. \u2018For other people to fall in love with something that maybe they didn\u2019t think was for them, I think is incredibly powerful.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
