The Bronx Arts Ensemble now has its first Black
female executive director.
Judith Insell was born and raised in the Bronx.
In middle school, Insell was assigned to play the
viola and hasn’t stopped since.
She has performed on "Saturday Night Live,"
on an album with Beyonce and on "The
Late Show with Stephen Colbert."
Insell says she believes in arts education for
all students, especially in the
Bronx.
“It is definitely about reaching the children
and the communities, so when we
are not teaching in the school, which is all the time, we are also visible as a
performing arts institution,” Insell says.
The Bronx Arts Ensemble is a nonprofit that has
been in the area since 1972.
Insell says she wants to continue the mission of
arts education for children and
performing for communities around the Bronx.
