Early and Black

Join us for an evening of early music by Black European composers Joseph Bologne, Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges (Paris 1745-1799), and Charles Ignatius Sancho (London 1729-1789).

In addition to his composing talents, Bologne was a famous French violinist, conductor, and fencer. Sancho was a renowned author, journalist, entrepreneur, abolitionist, and the first Black Briton to vote. Both were amazing, multi-talented and extremely influential men in their countries whose delightful music is sadly little-known today.

Featuring: Mary Findley, baroque violin; Leslie Nero, baroque violin; Seth Castleton, baroque cello; and Patrick Merrill, harpsichord
