WFMT Presents: Rediscovered Composers
Tune in for a rare opportunity to hear Margaret Bonds’s Montgomery Variations. Composed in 1964 and dedicated to Martin Luther King, Jr., the work is based on events and ideas in the civil-rights movement from the Montgomery Bus Boycott through the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church bombing that killed four young Black girls in Birmingham in 1963. Due to Bonds being marginalized on the basis of gender and race, the composer only heard this work performed just once in her lifetime.

Fiesta! with Elbio Barilari: Afro-Latin American Music
Born in Paris to a Spanish father and a mixed-race Cuban mother, violinist and composer Amadeo Roldán was concertmaster and president of Havana’s Symphonic Orchestra, conductor of Havana’s Philharmonic Orchestra, and a founder of the Havana String Quartet. A pioneer of modern Cuban symphonic art, Roldán is credited with composing the first symphonic works that incorporated Afro-Cuban percussion instruments. He died at age 38. This week, Elbio Barilari presents music by this Cuban master and by the Brazilian composer Francisco Mignone.
