He's a creator whose output has always included marginalized histories, making him one of today's most Noteworthy composers. In addition to writing ground-breaking operas and pieces that include spoken word, Anthony Davis has both a violin and piano concerto to his credit, and a symphony dedicated to the story of an uprising on a slave ship known as the Amistad. Well about 30 years before winning that prize, he premiered this work, that many opera houses have showcased only recently, despite it's premiere back in 1986: a work that he titled, 'The Life and Times of Malcolm X'.
