๐Ÿ–ค For Black History Month, join us in celebrating the first Black classical music composer in France: Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges.

Inspired by the incredible true story of Bologne in 18th century France, Disney's Chevalier takes place during the lead up to the French Revolution. The film sheds light on the realities of France at this time and can ignite student interest in learning more about the French Revolution as well as this remarkable historical figure.

Our free Chevalier Discussion Guide also explores Bologne's legacy; Beginnings, Opportunity, and Excellence; and Race and Identity. For grades 11-12, adult/higher ed.

๐Ÿ”” This is also a great film for Music in Our Schools Month in March!
