The Story of Joseph de Bologne
Chevalier de Saint-George (December 1745 – June 1799) was a French violinist, conductor, and composer. A biracial Creole free man of color, the Chevalier is considered the first classical composer of African descent to receive widespread critical acclaim. He was France’s first Black Freemason and formed the Masonic symphony orchestra Le Cercle de l’Harmonie while rising to the 33rd Degree.
