Best Of: Conductor Yannick Nezet-Seguin / Costume Designer Ruth E. Carter
What do great conductors listen to when they're not on the podium? Philadelphia Orchestra/Met Opera conductor Yannick N\xe9zet-S\xe9guin made a playlist, specifically for Fresh Air, of music that inspires him. It includes a surprising mix of pop, hip-hop and classical music \u2014 and includes a song that his cats love.
In the last 30 years, Ruth E. Carter has produced some of the most iconic looks in the Black film canon and beyond. She won an Academy Award for Black Panther and is now nominated for Wakanda Forever. She spoke with Tonya Mosley about these projects as well as her decades-long collaboration with Spike Lee.
