The Society of Black Composers

In the organizer's words:

This talk illuminates the Society of Black Composers, a critically important yet largely unsung group of mostly New York-based African American composers from diverse musical backgrounds established in 1968. Situating the collective within its larger historical context, Kisiedu elucidates how these composers challenged fundamental assumptions about constructions of Western classical music as a historically and institutionally white space that leaves out Blackness.
