Beyond Florence Price: Finding More Diverse Music Composers


'During Black History Month and Women's History Month, concert halls, music venues, and radio programs  highlight diverse composers and musicians — like Florence Price. The African American composer's work was turned down by many symphonies, but in the past decade, she has started to get some air-time.  WQXR writer James Bennett says, "my concern is that tastemakers will stop at that. You know they'll say, we have our diversity play when we need to inject some melanin into this Beethoven, Tchaikovsky whatever concert".'  -- WNYC News
