By: Stephi Wild
Nicole Jordan is the first Black woman to join the Philadelphia Orchestra full time in its 120-year history. Starting this year, she will become the Principal Librarian for the orchestra, according to 6 ABC.
"It's a moment of celebration, and at the same time, a short of shocking moment," said Matías Tarnopolsky, the President and CEO of The Philadelphia Orchestra.
"I didn't set out to make history. I just set out to kind of do what I love," Jordan said.
"We're in a very interesting place as Black Americans," she said. "I think we're coming into our voices. We're not sitting back and taking, 'No,' for an answer."
