Carrington Symone

About Me

Hi! I’m Carrington — a NYC-based multi-hyphenate performer-scholar working across musical theatre, concert performance, and new work development. From the moment I first discovered rhythm, I understood that music was more than sound—it was memory and possibility. As a Black and Indigenous Artist-Educator, my work imagines spaces where people feel seen, heard, and empowered.

I’m deeply passionate about the intersection of the arts and social justice. Through my work, I aim to inspire the next generation of Artist-Activists. Currently, I am completing a Master of Music in Vocal Performance (Music Theatre) at New York University. Before music, I studied Spanish and Politics at Princeton University, graduating Magna Cum Laude with minors in African-American Studies, Latin American Studies, and Music Theatre. My senior thesis, El ritmo que nos libre: Das almas assassinadas aos espíritos vivos —received the Premio Ángel G. Loureiro and the Outstanding Contribution to Music Theatre awards.

Since relocating to NYC, I’ve performed at venues including 54 Below, The Green Room 42, Don’t Tell Mama, and NYU Skirball. Alongside performing, I work as a Bilingual Music Teaching Artist, bringing arts education to young people across New York City. Whether on stage or in the classroom, I am committed to making creativity—and the freedom it offers—accessible to all.
