A trailblazing Black, female composer’s work is revived by Opera Philadelphia
Music | phillytrib.com: Florence Price has been having a moment in Philadelphia, thanks in large part to the Philadelphia Orchestra’s recent performances and recordings of the historically undersung compositions by the pioneering Black woman composer who died in 1953.

Opera Philadelphia's revival of a trailblazing black female composer's work highlights the important role of diversity and representation in the arts. The revival brings recognition to a composer whose contributions have been historically marginalized and offers a unique perspective on the genre of opera.
The celebration of diverse voices in the arts is crucial for promoting cultural understanding and fostering a more inclusive society. Exposure to different perspectives and experiences can broaden the cultural lens and enrich our understanding of the world. In this context, reviving the work of a black female composer is a powerful statement and a step towards a more equitable and representative arts landscape.
However, it's important to note that the revival of this composer's work is just the beginning. There is still much work to be done in terms of increasing representation and diversity in the arts. The revival serves as a reminder of the importance of continuing the push for equality and representation in the arts, and of celebrating the contributions of historically marginalized artists.
