CLASSICS: RECLAIMED TREASURES

The first in a multi-season series, we pair works of Jewish and Black composers. Jewish composers Toch and Korngold fled to the US from Europe in the 1930s. R. Nathaniel Dett was one of the first conservatory-educated Black musicians in the US. Descended from escaped slaves, Dett was a touring pianist and renowned choir director whose sacred oratorio (written in 1934) is breathtaking.
