Kaum schwarze musiker in der klassik
Die amerikanische Musikgeschichte ist untrennbar verbunden mit der Geschichte der Sklaverei. Denn die versklavten Afrikaner brachten auch ihre musikalischen Traditionen mit, zusammen mit den traditionellen europäischen Klängen verschmolzen sie zu Musikrichtungen wie Blues, Jazz, R&B, Techno und Hip-Hop. In diesen Genres sind schwarze Musikerinnen und Musiker häufig vertreten und überaus populär. Anders in der Klassik: Nur etwa zwei Prozent der Musiker in klassischen Ensembles sind Schwarz.
Hardly any black musicians in classical music
American music history is inseparably linked with the history of slavery. For the enslaved Africans also brought their musical traditions with them, and together with the traditional European sounds they fused into musical styles such as blues, jazz, R&B, techno and hip-hop. In these genres black musicians are often represented and extremely popular. It’s different in classical music: only about two percent of the musicians in classical ensembles are black.
