BTPM Classical Live on Stage #37: "Ebony in Harmony"

Please join BTPM Classical Live on Stage #37 on SUNDAY, MARCH 1, 2026 at 2PM for Ebony in Harmony: Bridging Black History Month & Women's History Month.

African American art song often explores themes of identity, heritage, and social justice. Composed for solo voice with piano accompaniment, they showcase a unique fusion of Western European classical traditions with elements of African and African American musical styles, including spirituals, gospel, jazz, and blues. Through the work of women composers such as Margaret Bonds, Dorothy Rudd Moore, Undine Smith Moore, and Florence Price, this concert will reflect the resilience, creativity, and cultural contributions of the African American community.

BTPM Classical Live On Stage is made possible by our BTPM members and by support from the Cullen Foundation.
