Two Florence Price violin concerts, which have been considered lost for decades, have been re-recorded.
Serge Koussevitzky, conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, never gave Florence Price a chance, but a few others did. Yet her music is little known and some of it had been lost for decades. But now Price is finally getting a little late recognition.
Letter Florence wrote to Serge in 1943:
“To begin with, I have two disabilities: those of gender and race, I am a woman and I have some Negro blood in my veins. I would like to be judged on merit alone.”
