Chevalier is the untold true story of composer Joseph Bologne, and how he defied racial norms to become the renowned musical genius known as Chevalier de Saint-Georges. The illegitimate son of an African slave and a French plantation owner, Bologne rises to improbable heights in French society as a celebrated violinist-composer and fencer, complete with an ill-fated love affair and a falling out with Marie Antoinette herself and her court.
This gorgeously composed period biography of a brilliant, fiercely resilient artist – all too often forgotten in the history books – boasts a show-stopping lead performance from Kelvin Harrison Jr.
