#ClassicsaDay #BlackHistoryMonth Week 3, 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.
William Grant Still - Summerland an important release
This is an album of exception music, played exceptionally well. All nine of the works on this release are world premiere recordings. They add significantly to Still's catalog. And to our understanding of this remarkable composer.
#ClassicsaDay #BlackHistoryMonth 2022 Week 3
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.
We are grateful for the generosity of the Joseph and Robert Cornell Memorial Foundation and UVA Arts Council, supporting WTJU and CharlottesvilleClassical.org.
