Michelle Cann

Cape Henlopen High School

“A compelling, sparkling virtuoso,” said the Boston Music Intelligencer. La Scena Musicale called her “Technically fearless with…an enormous, rich sound.” In a program of works by African American women composers, Michelle Cann makes her Aspen recital debut. Sharing her passion for what she calls the “fantastic and beautiful music” of Florence Price, Cann will also play a suite by Margaret Bonds, the first African American to perform with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and works by Irene Britton Smith and Betty Jackson King. Be inspired as a world-class pianist introduces you to nearly-forgotten gems of Chicago’s Black Renaissance!
