Boston Conservatory Orchestra celebrates Black History Month in Boston's historic Symphony Hall with a powerful program featuring historically important African-American composers William Grant Still (“Festive Overture”) and Margaret Bonds (“The Montgomery Variations'), as well as a recent work by Valerie Coleman ('Seven O'Clock Shout') celebrating the spontaneous outdoor applause the New York City medical profession received during the pandemic.

Concluding the program is Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s “Toussaint l'Overture,” which will include heretofore long-lost parts specially created by conductor Bruce Hangenfor this performance.

At the program's center will be a special narrator—to be announced shortly—reciting the words of Martin Luther King, Jr. in Joseph Schwantner’s “New Morning for the World.'
This performance has been selected as part of Boston Conservatory at Berklee's spring 2024 Center Stage collection.
