On October 21, 2008 AfriClassical posted “Anne Robert Plays Sonata of Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges at Louis Denis Harpsichord Event”. She is a harpsichordist who was participating in a concert celebrating the 350-year anniversary of the 1658 Louis Denis Harpsichord. Jean-Claude Halley made a post in French on the blog Guadeloupe Attitude on the following day. He said it was “An opportunity to combine two great friends of Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges: Bill and his wonderful site dedicated to Black musicians; Anne for her constant affection for the music of Saint-Georges”. Jean-Claude Halley has been a supporter and friend from the early days of AfriClassical.com in 2000. We appreciate his post.
