Die junge Florence Price auf einer undatierten Fotografie

This year The Philadelphia Orchestra celebrates an important rediscovery. By programming Florence Price, the conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin features a composer whose works gained considerable attention in the USA in the Thirties and Forties by incorporating the echoes of the spirituals into a classic symphonic form. Pieces by Antonín Dvořák and Karol Szymanowski provide a rousing opening.
