Baltimore Symphony Orchestra proudly presents Florence Price's groundbreaking Symphony No. 1 on May 31 and June 1 with Guest Conductor Thomas Wilkins. 🎻 Did you know Price made history as the first Black woman to premiere her work with a U.S. Orchestra? 🌟 This monumental symphony, also known as Symphony in E minor, debuted with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in 1933 after winning 1st prize at the Wanamaker Foundation Awards.

Price's symphony is a unique blend of European classical tradition with the rich tapestry of African American folk melodies and spirituals. 🎵 It's a profound reflection of resilience, culture, and the enduring quest for equality. 💫  🎶

"A thrilling four-movement work packed with soaring melodies, inventive writing, and gorgeous harmonies." - Classical FM
