Join us on February 13 for the 2023 Silas Peirce Lecture, "On Beethoven, Blackness, and Belonging: Debating German Music Across the Black Atlantic," presented by Kira Thurman, associate professor of History, German Studies, and Musicology at the University of Michigan.

What has classical music meant to Black people? Why have African Americans listened to and performed a genre of music that many Americans now consider to be white, elitist, and Eurocentric? Such accusations aren't inaccurate: for example, African Americans represent only 1.8 percent of all orchestra musicians today.

In this presentation, Professor Kira Thurman turns to the past to consider how African Americans made classical music a meaningful part of their lives. Examining the lives and careers of intellectuals such as W.E.B. DuBois and classical musicians such as Marian Anderson, Thurman argues that African Americans incorporated art music into their Black international and Black diasporic politics. Looking beyond America's shores, they found a larger and vibrant Black history of classical music that they could also claim.
