A blend of performance and storytelling, this program begins with Florence Price and the second movement of her Sonata in E minor, followed by Gabriela Ortiz’s Preludio y Estudio no. 3, which is a colorful and rhythmic homage to the women who fought in the Mexican Revolution. From Mexico to the UK, Doreen Carwithen’s Molto Adagio from her Sonatina and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s Andante from his Three-Fours Valse Suite bring moments of plaintive reflection to the program. The concert ends with a return to Price's narrative. Commissioned by Samantha Ege to celebrate the women in her latest book, South Side Impresarios: How Race Women Transformed Chicago’s Classical Scene, Cuban fusionista Camila Cortina Bello’s Bravura tells the story of Price’s musical sisterhood on Chicago’s South Side.
