Classically Black:
Great Music of African American Composers
Our 50-minute, narrated program for grades 4-8 took place on the final day of Black History Month 2025, featuring music by African American composers Terence Blanchard, Duke Ellington, Adolphus Hailstork, Quinn Mason, Florence Price, and William Grant Still.
This project was generously funded through the substantial support of the Avangrid Foundation, along with complimentary funding from William H. Lane Incorporated, Joseph and Rosemary Mirabito, and the Klee Foundation, among others. Our partnership with the Binghamton University Art Museum is supported by the Stephen David Ross University and Community Projects Fund of Binghamton University, with special thanks to BUAM's Diane Butler, Museum Director, and Amanda Lynn, Coordinator of Education.
