Join Mannes Prep faculty Eric Chernov as he leads a virtual discussion titled "An Introduction to the Music of Florence Price". The UnGeeking lecture series is designed for parents of young musicians to help introduce them to topics in the musical world, but is open to all who are interested!
Masters and Masterpieces (series) An Introduction to the Music of Florence Price: Florence Price (1887-1953) was a pioneering composer, pianist, and educator who, after achieving wide recognition for her Symphony in E minor (with the symphony's premiere in 1933 by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, she became the first African-American woman to have an orchestral work performed by a major American orchestra) and her songs (sung most notably, but hardly exclusively, by Marian Anderson), fell into a long period of relative obscurity. Happily, this trend has reversed itself, and her music has, for the last several years, enjoyed a well-deserved revival. In this UnGeeking session, we will listen to several of Price's works to glean an introductory overview of her remarkable output.
