Florence Price's 'Ethiopia's Shadow in America'

1. I attended a concert two weeks ago that included one of her compositions.

This piece sounds like it would have been a very good part of the score for a movie about ancient Egypt/Ethiopia. Cleopatra for example, the Claudette Colbert version.

3. I'm fond of her compositions. 🫡

2. If you listen to Lara Downes' program on KUSC, she often plays music of Florence Price.

And many others.

You can pick up her show weeknights from 8 to 12 (Pacific time)

Online at https://kusc.org
Or via their app.

4. Thanx for the recommendation.

I listen to syndicated American Public Media from 8-10 weeknights on our local university station. They're known to play Price. Also our university station has played her frequently. I think syndicated WBUR Boston (or not).

5. I used to listen to WBUR. Back in the days of "FM only" in the Boston area.

Now, we can get stations from everywhere. The CapRadio repeater is weak, so I gave up on FM. Internet only now.

I most often listen to KUSC, WBJC (https://wbjc.com ), and WQXR, especially their operavore stream (the classical stream, WQXR, is also fine). I use apps for KUSC and WQXR, but you can stream via browser.

6. WQXR rang a bell. New Yawk! 🤗 On their site: 'New York At Night'.

Thanx. I just started listening. Previous selection from Ika Peyron. Posting 2 of her compositions. Was not familiar with her. 🩷
