The Web site was launched in 2000 as a nonprofit educational venture promoting awareness of African Heritage in Classical Music. [...] Here you will meet 52 composers, conductors and instrumental performers - Africans, African Americans and Afro-Europeans. Many are alive today, but one lived 500 years ago! These artists are unknown to most of us, yet are so numerous this site can present only a fraction of them. They have made enduring contributions to Classical Music.
