SoNA Presents: Florence Price's Quintet in A Minor

As part of SoNA’s Reimagined Season, join us for the Florence Price’s "Quintet in A Minor" alongside Gywenth Walker's "The Dove and Other Songs of Peace."

Our performance was recorded live from the breathtakingly beautiful Great Hall at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. This marks the first time a complete recording of the work has ever been made free and open to the public – representing a meaningful contribution to Price’s legacy.

Price’s Quintet in A Minor is performed in four movements and runs 25 minutes – featuring SoNA musicians Tomoko Kashiwagi, acting principal pianist; Zsolt Eder, associate concertmaster; Miho Oda Sakon, principal second violin; Jesse Collett, principal violist; and Kari Caldwell, principal cello.

Given Price’s deep connection with her faith and the influence of spirituals in her music, this virtual concert program will also include the string quartet The Dove and Other Songs of Peace by Gwyneth Walker, movements 3 and 5, which includes a mix of arrangements of American folk music and spirituals as well as original music by Walker.
