"History only records certain people's stories," is a powerful message shared through BSO OrchKids project "Queens Unseen: Royals Without Crowns," an original composition centered around the suffrage movement and the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment. Forgotten Voices features students, artists, and scholars in the creative process of this project, and Black composers' voices are elevated with works from the Chevalier de Saint-Georges, a contemporary of Mozart; Scott Joplin; Hannah Kendall; and other gifted living composers. This episode seeks to bridge the gap between untold histories and contemporary classical works.
The broadcast premieres at 8pm Eastern / 5pm Pacific. BSO Sessions episodes begin with a performance premiere, followed by on-demand access through June 2021.
Purchase tickets to access the livestream. Tickets are $10.
