Highlighting 20th Century African-American Opera Composers with Dr. Holley Replogle-Wong

In this new podcast series, we explore elements of American opera - production and reception histories, social contexts, historical valences, and more - through our artist and scholar community.

In this episode, Dr. Holley Replogle-Wong highlights and celebrates the work of five African-American composers from the first part of the 20th century.
