Dr. Paul-Elliott Cobbs, Everett Philharmonic Music Director Emeritus presents his new book, Small Steps, Extraordinary Journeys
In fourth grade, Dr. Paul-Elliott Cobbs encountered the Detroit Symphony Orchestra for the first time. The sight and sound of musicians working together stirred a fascination that would shape the next six decades of his life.
But a career in music did not arrive all at once. One lesson led to another. One opportunity opened the way to the next. Through years of study, demanding rehearsals, unexpected detours, and hard-won achievements, Dr. Cobbs became a conductor and educator who brought the power of orchestral music to thousands of young people.
In this memoir, Dr. Cobbs reflects on the people who encouraged him, the challenges that tested him, and the students who gave his work its deepest meaning. His journey took him to Carnegie Hall and international stages, yet some of his most lasting rewards came from helping young musicians to discover their purpose and what they could achieve.
Dr. Cobbs’ story invites us to value small beginnings. A dream may not unfold as you expect, but with perseverance, gratitude, and the courage to take the next step, it can grow into a life beyond anything you imagined.
Check back soon for more information about where you can purchase Dr. Cobbs’ book!
