Abstrakt: This article explores the underrepresentation of composers of color in classical music and the efforts being made to address this issue. It discusses the increase in performances of works by composers of color, but notes that they are still greatly outnumbered by works of white European composers. The article also examines the barriers to performing music by composers of color, such as limited access to scores and concerns about cultural appropriation. The authors conducted a survey to understand attitudes towards music performance by composers of color and provide resources for teachers and students interested in exploring this music. The article emphasizes the importance of inclusive education and cross-cultural understanding in music. [Extracted from the article]
