Useful information
about the performance
Florence Price is regarded as the first African-American composer of classical music and is currently being rediscovered. In its programme “In Counterpoint”, ensemble reflektor now confronts her rousing “Folk Songs” with works by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach in an illuminating way. The connecting element is Johann Sebastian Bach, the undisputed master of counterpoint. His son Carl Philipp Emanuel went to Hamburg as music director in 1768. His powerful, impulsive “Hamburg Symphonies” were composed there. Florence Price also drew on Bach, combining her cultural background with an archaic compositional technique and appropriating Bach’s legacy in her very own way.
