You should know Chevalier de SaintGeorges

Here I want to tell the story of the Chevalier de Saint-Georges, Joseph Bologne, partially because it's a story that's almost completely unheard of even in high-level music history courses, but also partially because I want to make an example of how selective the pen of history can be and of how much it can bias historical account. • I urge anyone in music to look more deeply first in to Bologne's music, to perform it more and give it the honest chance that it more than deserves. Furthermore, I would urge anyone and everyone to more carefully interrogate what how we learn and how we teach, to look for the discrepancies and ask why they are there, and to not take any answers you might receive at face value. • My Corner of the Internet! • Patreon | patreon.com/theavantbard • Instagram | instagram.com/the_avant_bard • Website | https://www.theavantbard.com/ • FB Page | facebook.com/thebardhimself • • #JosephBologne #SaintGeorges #blackcomposer • Gabriel Banat's Book on Chevalier de Saint-Georges: • https://www.amazon.com/Chevalier-Sain... • Socials to Follow on issues in the Classical Scene • instagram.com/orchestraisracist • instagram.com/operaisracist • instagram.com/blackwomeninopera • facebook.com/operaisracist • facebook.com/blackwomeninopera • Further reading, while not directly related to Bologne, but is very relevant to the issues raised in the telling of his story: • White Fragility (Diangelo) • https://www.amazon.com/White-Fragilit... • How to Be an Antiracist (Kendi) • https://www.amazon.com/How-Be-Antirac... • The music featured in this is drawn from Taflemusik's album, Le Mozart noir: The Life Music of Joseph Boulogne.
