Condoleezza Rice
Photograph Courtesy Washington Speakers Bureau“The one thing people love about this country is this is the place you can come from humble circumstances and do great things. It doesn’t matter where you come from. It matters where you’re going.”—Condoleezza Rice
As National Security Advisor and Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice played a crucial role in shaping American foreign policy over the last decade. While most recognized for her role in government, Dr. Rice is also known for her musical talent. A classically-trained pianist from the age of three, she regularly plays with an amateur chamber music ensemble, and has performed for Queen Elizabeth II and accompanied Yo-Yo Ma.
