Welcome to "Black Music Seen," a program dedicated to archiving the inspiring stories and legacies of Black-identifying individuals who have built enduring and awe-inspiring careers in classical music. 
We believe that every note, every performance, and every experience in the world of classical music deserves to be celebrated and remembered.
This is our platform where we archive timeless stories.
