Kate Molleson follows Florence Price through a period of sharpening ambition and rising pressure. In conversation with pianist and scholar Samantha Ege, Kate Molleson explores Price’s early professional life, her growing engagement with African-American musical material, and the social and political forces shaping her voice. From teaching posts and rocky family dynamics to increasing exposure to violence and restriction under Jim Crow, Price persevered, adapted and continued to flourish in a world that sought to limit her.
