Manage episode 364069783 series 2751998
The African-American pianist Hazel Harrison played with the Berlin Philharmonic in 1904, and was promptly forgotten. But Kira Thurman remembers.

A conversation about the paradoxes of race and colorblindness in classical music, and much, much more.
Kira Thurman is associate professor of history, German studies, and musicology at University of Michigan.
