Dr. Karen Walwyn is interviewed by Von Elisabeth Hahn on SWR2, Kultur Neu Entdecken on MusickThema on the subject of Florence Price entitled:

“Ich bin eine Frau und ich habe schwarzes Blut in den Adern” – Die Komponistin Florence Price.
English: “I am a woman and I have black blood in my veins” – the composer Florence Price”

Florence Price was the fourth woman in America whose works were performed by a “major orchestra” – a large, renowned orchestra – and the first African-American composer. In other words, Elisabeth Hahn finds a woman who should definitely be dealt with outside of “Black History Month”.

Florence Price Recording Project

Dr. Walwyn looks forward to completing the first of four volumes of music for solo piano and some chamber work of Florence Price. She anticipates the completion of the first volume by July 2021. Updates will be announced here at our Florence Price News.
Most of the works to be recorded will be premiere recordings. It is a very exciting project, and we hope that you will check back to see how things are coming especially as we get closer to Florence’s birthday, April 9.

We are accepting donations towards the recording project.
