This “Bach to Black” recital will feature the Partita in C Minor by Johann Sebastian Bach and suites by three Black composers: Amanda Aldridge, Harry T. Burleigh, and R. Nathaniel Dett. The purpose of Dr. Sennet’s ongoing Bach to Black project is to help encourage continuing dialogue regarding inclusion and equity in classical music through recording and performing piano suites by several Black composers in combination with the suites of J.S. Bach.
