"Meet the Black Composers" is an engaging journey through time and geography focused on the often overlooked and underrepresented voices from the African diaspora. Ashleigh Gordon - an internationally respected violist, advocate of social change through education, and Artistic/Executive Director of the concert and educational series Castle of our Skins - will present her workshop, Meet the Black Composers. This workshop will survey some of the trailblazers – dating from three centuries ago to the present and hailing from three continents – that have continued to shape the classical music world.
