Michael Clark, Piano Lecture Recital - Florence Price: The Life and Music of a Trailblazing American
This lecture recital covers Florence Price’s remarkable life story, from her roots in the Jim Crow South through her tenacious pursuit of a compositional career to her leading role in the Black Chicago Renaissance. Interweaving lecture with piano pieces highlighting Price’s mastery of multiple styles, the program will feature numerous short works, some published for the first time in 2025, and conclude with her monumental Piano Sonata in E Minor, a powerful fusion of African-American vernacular styles and the Romantic tradition.
