Meet Queens Estelle Pinckney Clough and Florence Cole Talbert McCleave, some of the first Black women to perform the role Aida in full production.

The Legacy of Black Aida

Join me, Jessica Joy, as I share my research of forgotten women who have done much to contribute to America’s musical identity. See their lives unfold, understand their musical impact, and then consider with me, the ways their stories could still impact our current communities. These are the stories of Black women in classical music who have been slayin’, seen and unseen, for hundreds of years. I hope you tune in for this bi-weekly podcast.
