African-american Classical
African-American classical music stands as a rich, diverse genre that reflects the intricacies of Black cultural experience and musical innovation. It builds on a sturdy foundation of European classical traditions, interwoven with the rhythmic complexities, spiritual depth, and improvisational elements emblematic of African and African-American musical legacies. The genre encompasses a broad time span, featuring ragtime pioneers like Scott Joplin, the genre-fusing compositions of Duke Ellington, and contemporary maestros such as Michael Abels. Innovators like William Grant Still broke racial barriers, while others like Tyshawn Sorey and George Lewis continue to push the musical conversation forward, incorporating techniques from modern experimentalism and Free Jazz. African-American classical music serves as a resounding voice for a community's historical struggles, triumphs, and ongoing narrative.
