Classical Music's Best Kept Secret: Joseph Bologne
Joseph Bologne put French classical music on the map, was a favorite of Marie Antoinette, and influenced the kings of strings we celebrate today, Mozart and Beethoven. An unbelievable feat for a man born in Guadeloupe to his enslaved mother and a French plantation owner. His talents made him untouchable, enviable even. So how did he go from star composer at the top of the charts to obscurity? Today, the story of Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges.
