Another "thank you", Maestro. I have NEVER heard of the "Negro Folk Symphony" out of Philadelphia in the 1930s (video below), although I know some Black folks in the 1700s like Joseph Bologne Chevalier(Black French) who created operas, symphonies, sonatas and more. Chevalier was a virtuoso violinist whose talents shined despite slavery laws and racism in "Parisian" society.

Mr Maestro, you are kicking knowledge-wise and music-wise these days. LOL!!
