Classical Album of the Week: Pianist Maria Thompson Corley’s Treasure Trove by Black Composers
A collection of classical music written by African-American women over the last century is a jewel—an example of the depth and range of compositions that lie waiting to be discovered. As we begin Black History Month, Soulscapes is our Classical Album of the Week. First released in 2006, its message persists in 2021, awakening us to artists too long overlooked.
Associate composer George Fenwick passed away August 20, 2020
