Townsend Symposia on Music, Philosophy, and the Arts: The Women of Chicago's Black Renaissance

Michelle Cann, pianist

In the words of Michelle Cann: “As a pianist, I am deeply inspired by the incredible contributions of Black female composers who shaped the cultural landscape of Chicago’s Black Renaissance. This program, “The Women of Chicago’s Black Renaissance,” celebrates the voices of pioneering composers who created powerful and evocative music. From Nora Holt’s Negro Dance to Florence Price’s Fantasie Nègre and Margaret Bonds’ Spiritual Suite, each piece is a testament to the resilience and creativity of these women. By sharing their works and talking about their lives, I hope to illuminate their legacy and bring attention to their invaluable contributions to classical music. As an artist, I am committed to preserving and elevating these voices, ensuring that their stories and music continue to resonate for generations to come. This program reflects not only the richness of our culture but also the profound impact of these women on the history of classical music.”

Free and open to the public.
