Celebrating Black History

Those who have no record of what their forebears have accomplished lose the inspiration which comes from the teaching of biography and history.
— Carter G. Woodson, founder of Black History Month
This month, we're celebrating the rich history and musical contributions made by Black artists through a host of compelling discussions, performances, and podcasts.
First up is our free online Music Explorations Speaker Series featuring guest conductor, Kazem Abdullah. This is a great prelude to this weekend's Masterworks performances, Russian Treasures, Feb 5-8. Join us in-person or online with our Watch from Home subscription.
