The Jacobs School of Music at IU offers an e-concert series focused on spotlighting music of the African diaspora in the field of classical music with different guests every Wednesday. The performances are available at the series site. 

This week’s guest will be Fernando Garcia on piano, and they will play African American composer Margaret Bonds’ “Spiritual Suite.” Margaret Bonds was well-known for her collaboration with the Harlem Renaissance poet Langston Hughes, as well as her piece “Troubled Water” that features as the final movement of the “Spiritual Suite.”
