As part of the Eastman School of Music Centennial celebration, we are bringing back the weeklong Women in Music Festival that took place annually from 2005 to 2014 during Women’s History Month. For the 2022 edition, from March 21-25, we are celebrating composer Florence B. Price, women in brass and in jazz, and Mexican composer Georgina Derbez. We are also welcoming back alumni Nicole Keller, organist, and Leonard Hayes, pianist. See the official event page here.

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.
