Born in Little Rock, Florence Price (1887–1953) made most of her career as composer, pianist, organist, and teacher in Chicago. There, she became the first Black woman to have a piece premiered by a major American orchestra when the Chicago Symphony played her Symphony No. 1 in 1933. The Oak (1943) is a rather mysterious piece whose manuscript was discovered at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester during the late 1990s. A departure from her often cozy, folk-influenced style, The Oak contains both dark, foreboding rumblings and high-floating dreams, fitting for the aged, gnarled roots of an old oak tree.
Fun fact: Price studied piano pedagogy and organ performance at the New England Conservatory, just down the hill from here! During her time in Boston, she studied composition with NEC president George Whitfield Chadwick on scholarship.
