R.J. Foster, who plays Joseph Bologne in 'The Chevalier', invites you to see the concert theater work on July 10th at Caramoor in Katonah, NY at 4:00pm.
This innovative work of concert theater honors the life of Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges — a prolific 18th-century composer, virtuoso violinist, the finest fencer in Europe, general of Europe’s first Black regiment, and a crusader for equality. The story of this extraordinary artist of color, overlooked in history, is bursting to be told!
The Harlem Chamber Players are joined by violinist Brendon Elliott and four actors — depicting Mozart, Marie Antoinette, and Joseph Bologne — for this concert theater work exploring Bologne’s music, friendships, and his unknown contribution to the abolishment of slavery. Join us for this touching and funny examination of lost history in 1778.
At 3:00pm, join us for a conversation with WQXR Host Terrance McKnight, Director Bill Barclay, and Liz Player, Founder, Executive and Artistic Director of Harlem Chamber Players.
