Arkansas native composer Florence Price is celebrated in this year's KUAF Fulbright Chamber Music Festival finale within the Great Hall of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art June 22. The free concert also features a screening of the documentary about her life, The Caged Bird.
Find out more about Price, including what makes her similar to the
likes of Tchaikovsky & Dvorak in my interview with violinists
Er-Gene Kahng and Ryan Cockerham.

Hi William;
Thanks for sharing this with me. I just returned from this event and it went real well - there were about 200+ people there. It began with a really excellent string quartet performing Price's "Folksongs in Counterpoint" and her recently found "String Quartet in G" from 1929. This was followed by a screening of the documentary. Crystal Bridges museum is a wonderful museum of American art, and they have a very nice hall in which this concert was held.
I'm also pleased to say that "The Caged Bird" was accepted by the Black Harvest Film Fest in Chicago and will be shown sometime in August at the Gene Siskel Film Center.
Best Wishes,
Jim Greeson
