Picture of the day

Florence Price (April 9, 1887 – June 3, 1953) was an American classical composer pianist, organist and music teacher. Born in Little Rock, Arkansas, she was educated at the New England Conservatory of Music and was active in Chicago from 1927 until her death. Price was the first African-American woman to be recognized as a symphonic composer, and the first to have a composition played by a major orchestra. She composed more than 300 works, including four symphonies, four concertos, as well as choral works, art songs, chamber music, and music for solo instruments. This portrait photograph of Price was taken around 1940 by George Nelidoff and is in the collection of the University of Arkansas Libraries.Photograph credit: George Nelidoff; restored by MyCatIsAChonk
