Now that we’re done with the Groundhog, Mardi Gras, St. Valentine, and the Presidents, we can turn our attention fully to Black History Month. Tomorrow morning on WPRB, we’ll survey over 200 years worth of music by composers of color, including many we didn’t get to during last month’s Martin Luther King celebration.

We’ll hear works by Marion Bauer, Joseph Bologne (Chevalier de Saint-Georges), Margaret Bonds, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Levi Dawson, R. Nathaniel Dett, Duke Ellington, Adolphus Hailstork, Florence Price, William Grant Still, José Silvestre White Lafitte (a.k.a. Joseph White), and Olly Wilson.

In addition, Dashon Burton, Bass-Baritone will perform spirituals, arranged by Harry T. Burleigh and others, from a new album, titled “Songs of Struggle and Redemption: We Shall Overcome.”

I hope you’ll join me for a playlist celebrating Black History Month, tomorrow morning from 6 to 11 ET, on WPRB 103.3 FM or online at wprb.com. Black is the new black, on Classic Ross Amico.
