In recognition of February as Black History Month, the recital features the music of Florence Beatrice Price and familiar spirituals in old and new settings. Price (1887-1953) is the first African-American woman recognized as a major composer.

Joining Goldsmith Proctor for this performance are the Ad Hoc Singers, Alexandra Jacobs, Peter Jensen-Moulton, Lansing Laraway, Julia Pomainville and Laura Ramsey. For more information, call 229-5630.
