In collaboration with the Archives of African American Music and Culture (AAAMC), the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra presents “Wade in the Water: Exploring Florence Price’s 4th Symphony and art songs” on October 24th, 2021. Included in the program is a guest appearance by tenor, scholar, and cultural activist Dr. Marquese Carter who will perform and share insights on Price’s art songs, expand on her historical context, the renaissance of her music in the last few years, and address why her music and that of other composers of color have been historically overlooked.

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.
