Cailin Marcel Manson ain’t your average maestro

Cailin Marcel Manson is a conductor, baritone opera singer, and longtime vocal studies teacher who’s performed on some of the world’s biggest stages — from the Conservatoire de Luxembourg to Carnegie Hall. In this episode, we talk with Cailin about what it means to command a space long dominated by white men — armed with Black skin, a bit of Philly swagger, and a corset.
