James Greeson: Arkansas Philharmonic will present a premiere performance of Florence Price's Violin Concerto No. 2 Feb. 17 with Dr. Er-Gene Kahng

Florence B. Price

Professor Emeritus James Greeson of Arkansas University writes of Florence B. Price:

The Arkansas Philharmonic will be presenting a premiere performance of her Second Violin Concerto on Feb. 17 featuring my colleague Dr. Er-Gene Kahng.  I think at about the same time Er-Gene's recording of both of Price's newly discovered violin concertos will be released by Albany Records.

Two other Price things in February are that I've been told that the New Yorker has an article on Price written by Alex Ross due out soon, and also a musicologist here at the U. of Arkansas, Dr. Micaela Baranello, has a piece on Florence Price and Er-Gene's new recording of her concertos that will appear in the New York Times Arts & Leisure section in the Feb 11th issue.   If or when I get a link to that article I'll try to share it with you.

Best Wishes,

Jim Greeson
