Join WPR’s “Morning Classics” host Stephanie Elkins in a free live online conversation about composer Florence Price, as part of UW-Madison’s Badger Talks Live series on March 2 at noon. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra premiered Price’s Symphony No. 1 in 1933, yet the African American composer’s work disappeared after her death in the 1950s. House renovators rescued Price’s hand-written scores from the trash in 2009, and her work is now being performed and recorded again. Hear Stephanie’s account of the revival of Price’s oeuvre, illustrated with several musical excerpts.
Stephanie’s one-hour conversation will be streamed live via the UW Connects Facebook page or Screenz:
