Before There Was Mozart - the musical superstar of 18th-century France was Joseph Boulogne (Chevalier)—a black man. This inspiring story tells how Chevalier, the only child of an enslaved woman and her white master, becomes the most accomplished man in Europe.

After traveling from his native West Indies to study music in Paris, young Chevalier is taunted about his skin color. Despite his classmates' cruel words, he continues to devote himself to his violin, eventually becoming conductor of a whole orchestra. Chevalier begins composing his own operas, which everyone acknowledges to be magnifique. But will he ever reach his dream of performing for the king and queen of France?

Before There Was Mozart is a lushly illustrated book by Lesa Cline-Ransome and James E. Ransome, introducing us to a talented musician and an overlooked figure in history.
