Hello! My name is Mason Farlough and I’m a freshman mechanical engineering major, sociology minor from Howard University. I was in charge of doing research on various Florence Price related events and recording them on this website. It was very fulfilling to contribute to something as meaningful as the creation of this website. Even though there was lots of work to be done, learning about how Price’s history still impacts our present, while spreading awareness of what amazing people are doing around the world made it all worth it. As someone who’s in the STEM field, it was also a breath of fresh air to be using my skills the solve more than just STEM related problems. I hope that my work has provided value to the international effort of keeping Price’s story alive.

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.
