THE LOST HISTORY OF COMPOSER JOSEPH BOLOGNE: WHO IS TO BLAME?
Who’s to blame for the Lost History of Composer Joseph Bologne (AKA Chevalier de Saint-Georges)?
This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes Dr. Jon Higgins (The B.F.F. Podcast, Black. Fat. Femme: Revealing the Power of Visibly Queer Voices in Media and Learning to Love Yourself) to discuss history’s neglect of 18th century composer (and swordsmen?!) Joseph Bologne, also known as the Chevalier de Saint-George. Why were Bologne’s works ignored for almost 200 years despite him being regarded as the most accomplished man of his age? Was racism to blame? Did his mixed-race background have something to do with it? Or was he just too friendly with Marie Antoinnette and the aristocrats of that time? Producer Amanda Lund and Fact Checker Chris Smith join the conversation.
