Description

Living with his grandparents is an adjustment with rules and routines, but when Richard joins band for something to do, he unexpectedly discovers a talent and a sense of purpose.

Taking up the tuba feels like something he can do that belongs to him, and playing music is like a light going on in the dark.

Soon Richard gains acceptance to the prestigious Baltimore School for the Arts, and he continues thriving in his musical studies at the Peabody Conservatory and beyond, even as he navigates racial and socioeconomic disparities as one of few Black students in his programs. With fierce determination, Richard pushes forward on his remarkable path, eventually securing a coveted spot in a symphony orchestra and becoming the first African American to earn a doctorate in music for tuba performance.

A professor, mentor, and motivational speaker, Richard now shares his extraordinary story - of dreaming big, impossible dreams and making them come true.
