#ClassicsaDay #BlackHistoryMonth Week 4 2025
February is Black History Month and a logical time to highlight contributions by people of color to classical music. Those contributions have been significant -- and not just in the past 50 years.
#ClassicsaDay #BlackHistoryMonth 2022 Week 3
February is Black History Month, and a great opportunity to explore the music of black composers. That's what the Classics a Day team felt, anyway.
#ClassicsaDay #BlackHistoryMonth Wek 4
This time around, I tried to avoid duplication with previous posts. It was easy to do. There is a lot of classical music by persons of color, both in the past as well as the present. A lot.
#ClassicsaDay #WeWriteSymphonies Week 1
#WeWriteSymphonies is the theme for this month’s #ClassicsaDay. It’s a hashtag used by composers of color, and it seems like a logical extension of #BlackLivesMatter (last month’s theme).
We are grateful for the generosity of the Joseph and Robert Cornell Memorial Foundation and UVA Arts Council, supporting WTJU and CharlottesvilleClassical.org.
