Now that we’re all finished with the Groundhog, St. Valentine (snowed out, actually), 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.
We’ll hear pieces by Joseph Boulogne (the Chevalier de Saint-Georges), Margaret Bonds, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Levi Dawson, R. Nathaniel Dett, Duke Ellington, Adolphus Hailstork, Ulysses Kay, Florence Price, William Grant Still, George Walker, José Silvestre White Lafitte (a.k.a. Joseph White), and others.
I hope you’ll join me as I celebrate Black History Month, tomorrow morning from 6 to 11 EST, on WPRB 103.3 FM and at wprb.com. Black is the new black, on Classic Ross Amico.
