History of Black Classical Composers

With the success of the Kanneh-Mason family and the rise of the Chineke Orchestra, it is time to review the history of Black people in the world of Classical Music. There were Black composers, conductors, performers, and opera divas.

However, Robin Walker ‘The Black History Man’ focuses on the distinguished Black composers. He revisits this hidden history with musical excerpts and powerful performances. With music from Ignatius Sancho, Le Chevalier De St Georges, Florence Price and William Grant Still, this session promises to be a delight for the ear.
