    It's Black History Month

There’s the Grammys, a new album of choral works from the composer of Baba Yetu, Christopher Tin, a fresh take on Bach, another cancellation at the Kennedy Center and the March broadcast of the Oscars with a nomination about Verdi. There’s also a sad story about a violinist whose violin case was too big for the overhead bin.
