The MSO celebrates a special full weekend at the new Scheidt Family Performing Arts Center. Tchaikovsky’s Second Symphony is an early masterpiece that famously draws from the folk melodies of today’s Ukraine. Florence Price’s hauntingly beautiful Piano Concerto in One Movement is built upon her own musical foundations including spirituals and call-and-response.

Tchaikovsky and Price: Folk Traditions

Scheidt Family Performing Arts Center

A program of wonderful musical masterpieces by extraordinarily gifted American composers. The NMSO performs an exquisite lament by Pulitzer Prize winner George Walker, two works by Florence Price — the first black female composer to have a symphony performed by a major American orchestra: her passionate and powerful Symphony No. 1, with its musical reflections of Dvorak’s great New World Symphony, and also Price’s dynamic Piano Concerto. The NMSO welcomes the University of Memphis Artist-in-Residence Artina McCain, who also performs a delightful Dance Tribute by Ghanaian-American composer Fred Onovwerosuoke.
