We celebrate Black History Month with a preview of the TSO's concert On Angel's Wings We Soar to the Light, presented by candlelight at St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church in Toledo. Our old friend (and former TSO Resident Conductor) Chelsea Tipton II joins the discussion about the legacy of African American music and composers, both from history and from the present. Also, we take Chelsea's classical crossover work as our cue for the quiz of the day!
