BIPOC Rock! Spring 2021 Recital

Even though only one piece of music that was performed at the April 11 Spring 2021 recital can be classified as Rock, I couldn’t resist the title suggested by my Beloved.

Seventeen students performed music by Black, Indigenous, People of Color. The composers lived in every century from the 1700s to today. They hail from Ghana, West Africa, New Granada, England, and The United States. We heard music by Kenneth Kafui, Ignatius Sancho, Clarence Cameron White, Thomas J Martin, John Coltrane, Scott Joplin, and Herbie Hancock.
