>===== Original Message From Suzanne Flandreau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ===== Friends: Below is the announcement of a program series for Black History Month co-sponsored by the Center for Black Music Research and Chicago's fine arts radio station, WFMT. WFMT can be heard over the Web at http://www.networkchicago.com/wfmt/ . The programs provide an opportunity for listeners to hear music that is not often programmed, and to learn more about contributions to art music by people of African descent throughout the world. If you have ever attended a meeting of the Black Music Collections Roundtable, or the American Music Roundtable, or the Contemporary Music Roundtable, and if you listen to radio on the Internet, you might want to tune in for the next four Tuesday nights. Suzanne WFMT (98.7FM Chicago) and the Center for Black Music Research are collaborating during February to produce four hour-long programs and an entire day of programming featuring works by black composers. "A Celebration of Black Composers" also includes CBMR Moments, a series of ten brief vignettes profiling noted black composers and featuring excerpts from their works. The one-hour programs, scheduled to be narrated by William Warfield, will air at 7:00 P.M. on Tuesday, February 5, 12, 19 and 26. The day-long program will air on the 26th. The composer profiles, each two minutes long, will air at various times during the month. The one-hour programs are: February 5 - Symphony/chamber works by black composers including Adolphus Hailstork, David Baker, and Samuel Coleridge- Taylor. February 12 - Solo/chamber works by Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson, Wendell Logan, Margaret Bonds, Dorothy Rudd Moore, Ulysses Kay and George Walker. February 19 - Vocal works by composers including Vicente Lusitano, William Grant Still, Hale Smith, T.J. Anderson, Howard Swanson and John Carter. February 26 - Violin concertos by Jose White, Roque Cordero and The Chevalier de Saint-Georges. Composers whose stories will be told in CBMR Moments include Pixinguinha, known as the father of Brazilian popular music, Alton Adams, first black bandmaster in the U.S. Navy, The Chevalier de Saint-Georges, a violinist and composer in the royal court of 18th century France, and Montague Ring, the pseudonym for Amanda Aldridge, a black female composer in turn-of-the-century England.
