6 ‘The Black Mozart’

In this episode of BTHVN = Black, we hear Mirelys Morgan Verdecia on violin and Artem Belogurv on piano. They will be playing Beethoven, alongside one of his contemporaries: Joseph Boulogne, le Chevalier de Saint-Georges, one of the few 18th-century composers of African descent to appear on the Western Classical music scene. We will also experience the flavours and sounds of Cuba through the Cuban classical composer: José White. The episode will also include a fascinating interview with Mirelys. An introduction to the link between BTHVN = Black and our musical heritage will be made by Museum Geelvinck Director, Dr. Jurn Buisman.
