Composers from the African Diaspora

Wise Music Classical is pleased to present a selection of works by composers from the African Diaspora. This resource is meant to cultivate discovery, and to establish a new canon that embodies a fuller scope of our past, present, and future. From Pulitzer Prize winners Tyshawn Sorey and Anthony Davis, to mid-century symphonists Florence Price and William Dawson; from beloved jazzmen Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn to singular visionaries George Lewis and Julius Eastman – these composers and their music compellingly render Black experiences in sound.
