Directed and orchestrated the 2022 Oscars. Orchestrator and Co-Conductor for the first All-African-American orchestra in Academy Awards history.
The 94th Academy Awards represented a watershed moment. Hodge directed and orchestrated the first All-African-American orchestra ever to perform at the ceremony — an achievement that was not merely symbolic. His orchestrations anchored the evening's musical performances with a depth and cultural resonance that reflected the full breadth of American musical tradition.
