Charles Dean Dixon, conductor, was born January 10, 1915 in New York, New York to West Indian parents Henry Charles Dixon and McClara Rolston Dixon. Dixon’s parents exposed him to classical music at an early age and his mother taught him to play the violin, along with a number of other instruments. By the age of nine he was considered a musical prodigy and performed on local radio stations in New York. Dixon enrolled at Juilliard School of Music in 1932 as a violin major, but soon switched to the music pedagogy program and graduated in 1936. He then enrolled in Columbia University and earned a Master’s Degree in Music Pedagogy there in 1939.
Dixon was married three times: he married pianist Vivian Rivkin in 1948 and the couple had a daughter, Diane (1948-2000). He married Finnish Baroness and playwright Mary Mandelin in 1954 and they had daughter Nina in 1954. He married Australian Ritha Blume in 1973.
While at Julliard Dixon discovered conducting and upon graduating he formed the “Dean Dixon Symphony Orchestra,” the first racially integrated group of its type in New York City. His career as an accomplished conductor began with guest-conducting concerts for the New York City Orchestra in 1940 and the NBC Symphony Orchestra in 1941. Later that year Dixon became the first African American to conduct the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. He received the 1945-47 Julius Rosenwald Fellowship and the Alice M. Ditson Award from Columbia University in 1948.
Despite these prestigious guest conducting appearances and awards, there were few opportunities for African Americans in the field of conducting during the 1940s. Dixon was not offered any permanent conducting positions. He moved to Europe in 1949 to guest conduct with the French National Radio Orchestra and remained abroad for the next two decades. He was the conductor of the Goteburg Symphony in Sweden from 1953 to 1960 and the Radio Symphony Orchestra in Germany from 1961 to 1964. He traveled to Sydney, Australia to conduct the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in

Now that the election is over, it should be clear even to rabid conservatives that Black voters will continually oppose their vision of establishing an authoritarian regime in America. The Black political bloc is committed to the principles that “no one is above the law” and “every citizen has the right to vote.” Civil rights activists must be prepared to counter the political fusillade that is sure to come in an attempt to change these Black values. Even while that battle is underway, civil rights activists will also have to consider the implications of the nation’s racial caste system that were pointed out by Isabel Wilkerson’s new book “Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents.”
