Louisville Public Media’s 90.5 WUOL, in partnership with the Muhammad
Ali Center, presents the modern-day premiere of a recently discovered
string quartet by Florence Price. The premiere is set to take place on
July 13 at 7:30 p.m. at The Muhammad Ali Center, View Pointe Hall.
Price is generally considered the first African-American woman to be
recognized as a symphonic composer. This free family event will feature
both music and historical context, with musicians from The Louisville Orchestra, singers from The Black Classical Artists of Louisville, and speaker Douglas Shadle (Vanderbilt University).
The performance will also be broadcast live on 90.5 WUOL at 7:30 pm. Access our live stream here.
