Home Classical Court

From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

That exactly is the point. It doesn't matter

how many this or that. It's whether folks HAVE A CHOICE. There are many obstacles for poor folks to hurdle--- and African-Americans are our poorest group. Yeah, a lot of kids choose popular music--- many white kids do, too. But they have (as pointed out by the author of my linked article) far fewer obstacles after attaining skills.

I have the awkward feeling that (not necessarily you) many have a stereotypical view of black people, that somehow "serious" art isn't for them, whether to appreciate or participate.

There is plenty of history of black Americans in classical music--- but nowhere near what it could or should be.
