POLITICS of MUSIC
The top American orchestras historically and
currently do not program violin concertos by composers of African decent
or program violinists or violists of African descent to perform music of
any composer. One notable exception was the Philadelphia Orchestra
performance of George Walker's Concerto for Violin and Orchestra
featuring Gregory Walker, son of George Walker. Please listen to
