A SYMPHONY FOR SAINT-GEORGES
Written and directed by Rich Bradford
CLOSED
Born in Guadeloupe to an enslaved mother and a wealthy plantation-owner father, Joseph Bologne was once described as "the most accomplished man in France." As a champion fencer, an esteemed violinist, father, and composer, Bologne is said to have inspired musicians like Mozart. But even he was not immune to the realities of racism. His story has been buried by history.
Join us as we bring Joseph Bologne de Chevalier Saint-Georges back to life so he can tell his historic, inspiring, and under-told story.
Although this installation has now closed to the public, you can still experience A Symphony for Saint-Georges digitally! Click the button below to watch a video walkthrough of the installation.
