| 释义 |
Born in Neptune Township, New Jersey, his father was a jazz trumpet player who did not approve of his choice of instrument—feeling Watt’s background and race would make a career with the horn impossible.[3] Nevertheless, Watt won a scholarship to the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston and continued studies at California Institute of the Arts. In 1970 at the age of twenty-two he was hired by Zubin Mehta and the Los Angeles Philharmonic to play assistant principal horn where he remained for 37 years before retiring in 2008.[1] References1. ^1 {{cite news|title=It's his horn of plenty|url=http://articles.latimes.com/2008/jan/20/entertainment/ca-watt20|publisher=Los Angeles Times|accessdate=31 July 2015|date=20 January 2008}} 2. ^{{cite news|title='The Black Horn': Blowing Past Classical Music's Color Barriers|url=https://www.npr.org/2014/11/09/361745192/the-black-horn-blowing-past-classical-musics-color-barriers|publisher=National Public Radio|accessdate=31 July 2015|date=9 November 2014}} 3. ^{{cite news|title=Robert Lee Watt Defies Racial Barriers in Classical Music with Instrument for ‘Thin-Lipped White Boys’|url=http://atlantablackstar.com/2014/11/11/robert-lee-watt-defies-racial-barriers-classical-music-instrument-thin-lipped-white-boys/|publisher=Atlanta Blackstar|accessdate=31 July 2015|date=11 November 2014}} External links
