#ClassicsaDay #BlackHistoryMonth Week 4, 2024
Classical music originated in Western Europe, but it's not exclusive to dead, white European males. The challenge for February is to post videos of classical music either written or performed by musicians of color.
#Classicsaday #BlackHistoryMonth 2022 Week 1
February is Black History Month, and a great opportunity to explore the music of black composers. That's what the Classics a Day team felt, anyway.
#ClassicsaDay Black History Month Week 1
The Classics a Day team has celebrated Balck composers before. This time around, I tried to avoid duplication with previous posts. It was easy to do. There is a lot of classical music by persons of color, both in the past as well as the present. A lot.
