The Blacknificent 7 is a dynamic network of trailblazing Black composers committed to promoting and serving the next generation of underrepresented composers. The collective consists of Emmy Award-winning composer and vocalist Jasmine Barnes, composer and bass-baritone Damien Geter, Grammy Award-winning CSO Mead Composer-in-Residence Jessie Montgomery, composer and educator Shawn Okpebholo, Emmy-nominated composer Dave Ragland, Grammy-nominated Composer-in-Residence of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Carlos Simon and Emmy Award-winning composer Joel Thompson. Their works have been performed by prestigious ensembles around the world, and they continue to be in high demand for new commissions and performances. The group presented their first-ever joint concert at Orchestra Hall in December 2023 as part of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s MusicNOW series, which is curated by Montgomery, and was met with critical acclaim. 

A portion of each sale of Blacknificent 7 merchandise supports the collective’s commitment to uplifting the next generation of underrepresented composers through spearheading initiatives, direct support and more.
