The early 20th century witnessed significant and powerful musical creations from African Americans within the tradition of classical music. Much of this music was unheralded at the time by the white musical establishment but is experiencing a renaissance today. There is a tremendous richness of musical ideas and feeling in this broad body of work and we are delighted to explore part of this repertoire on our Concert Series.
Piano Sonata in e minor (1932) Florence Price (1887-1953)
Three Visions (1936) William Grant Still (1895-1978)
Troubled Waters (c. 1950) Margaret Bonds (1913-1972)
Eight Biblical Vignettes (1943) Nathaniel Dett (1882 -1943)
