Classical music for Black History Month

Richard Greene has a thorough, well researched site listing classical music recordings of black composers. It includes more than 135 composer names and more than 800 recorded works. He sent me an email, sharing the sites of other young African American ensembles. In honor of Black History Month, check them out!
Buskaid String Project
Imani Winds
Marian Anderson String Quartet
Ritz Chamber Players Society

SugarStrings is an all-girl, classical music trio comprised of 3 first cousins. Whenever SugarStrings performs, inevitably, we mothers are asked about their training routine, their instruments, choice of music, hours of practice, and more. This blog is our attempt to create a community of parents, teachers, and students who love music and want to improve their skills. My sisters, Laura and Janice, and I (Donna Marie) manage this website. We'll provide tips from master teachers and students alike. Please share your thoughts and tips and ideas for stories.
