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:

With just weeks left before the deadline, tribes face a dilemma. Should they hold onto their COVID-19 relief money and hope Congress extends the deadline, or spend it all now and risk not having funds in 2021?
“Hopefully the date is going to be extended,” says Stephanie Elkins is acting CEO of the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians. The small tribe received $11 million from the federal CARES Act of 2020.
“We’re very conservative in our spending right now, just because we don’t know what the future’s going to hold. We’re definitely conservative in our reopening protocols and procedures, and we’ll maintain that until it’s determined that our communities are safe.”
