Comment on Black Classical Music Presentation

[Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges Violin Concertos, Op. 5, Nos. 1 & 2; Op. 3, No. 1; Op. 8, No. 9; Bernard Thomas Chamber Orchestra; Jean-Jacques Kantorow, Violin; Arion 68093 (1990)]

Yesterday AfriClassical posted “Southampton Recorded Music Society Presents Black Classical Music July 4”. The presentation will be made by Annamarie Ewing, who plays baroque and classical recorder music in the South of England and is webmaster of http://www.BlackClassics.co.uk She comments on the post: “I have just had a chance to see the post on your site - it looks very good! It's good for others to know what's going on in the black classical world. I am looking forward to giving the presentation, and will let you know how I get on. Things will be quieter over the summer months, however, there should be more activity in October during our Black History Month. I will certainly let you know if I will be involved in any other events. Best wishes, Annamarie.” [The Afro-French composer Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges (1745-1799) is profiled at AfriClassical.com]
