San Francisco Classical Voice:
This weekend, The Dream Unfinished
(TDU) will present a concert of works that exemplifies the stylistic
variety people tend to associate with canonical music. Yet, true to her
intention, Lee programmed pieces by six composers from diverse locales
within the African Diaspora: Joseph Bologne “Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges” (born in Guadeloupe, raised in France: 1745–1799), Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (England: 1875–1912), William Grant Still (United States: 1895–1978), Margaret Bonds (United States: 1913–1972), George Walker (United States:1922–), and Evan Williams
(United States: 1988–). With this robust roster of Afro-descendent
composers, TDU will accomplish what none of the 80-plus largest
orchestras in the United States has been able to do in the last three
years.
