As the 2020 Gateways Music Festival launches its first-ever all-virtual festival, WXXI Classical celebrates the week with a tribute program featuring all music from black composers, including Adolphus Hailstork, Florence Price and Michael Abels. We'll also hear a unique arrangement of the Black National Anthem, "Lift Every Voice and Sing," all performed by the Gateways Music Festival Orchestra recorded live at the Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre in Rochester, New York in August 2019.
WXXI Classical 91.5 is in the process of building a resource of photos and brief biographical information about musicians of African descent. This resource is by no means complete, and we rely on you to help us build the site by sharing your information. Please click on the alphabetical groupings below to begin your discovery.
