SWEET POWER (Music of Dvorak and Florence Price with guests artists Hilary Walther Cumming, violin; Duncan Cumming, piano and Andrew Snow, viola. Featuring Ann-Marie Barker Schwartz, violin and Petia Kassarova, cello). Dvorak’s rapturous piano quintet composed in 1887 is the centerpiece of this program. Full of Bohemian melodies and dance rhythms, the piece is a glorious musical journey from beginning to end. We have paired it with the Five Folksongs (or Spirituals) in Counterpoint of Florence Price, the first African-American women to be recognized as a major symphonic composer, her works were premiered by the Chicago Symphony and the WPA Orchestra, among others.
