Essentially Florence Price's work was forgotten - then rediscovered. Students at the Kaufman Music Center's special music school have worked to keep her legacy alive - first with a book a couple of years ago, and now for the first time, they will be introducing her music to families in New York City.
The high school students are starting Black History Month on a high note to make a special introduction to the community.
Her life and musical journey is documented in a book that the students wrote - a classroom project turned publishing deal in 2021. While many Black musicians had worked to keep Price's legacy alive, it was this discovery that would set the tone for a new story to be told.
