Pianist Lara Downes Is Reviving The Work Of Black Composers And Reframing The History Of American Classical Music

Her project, called Rising Sun Music, “is a series of newly recorded works written by black composers — including many works that have never been recorded before — performed by Downes with guest artists. She plans to release one song per week to streaming platforms, with a new theme every month, beginning February 5.” – Smithsonian Magazine
