Pathways: Florence Price Piano Quintet

In celebration of Black Music Month with the Ruth Williams Opera House, Left Coast presents Florence Price’s romantic Piano Quintet alongside works by David Sanford and Chris Castro. With our new project, Pathways, Left Coast champions the music of emerging Californian composers.
