About the event
In celebration of Black Pearl's 10th Anniversary, we are celebrating the accomplishments of African-American women in classical music. Â From 6:00 - 7:00 the concert opens with string quartet and woodwind quintet performances including music by African-American women composers including Valerie Coleman and Jessie Montgomery. Â Â Then at 7:30, Black Pearl Orchestra will be joined by pianist Michelle Cann as the soloist for the Philadelphia premiere of the Piano Concert in One Movement by Florence Price, the first African-American woman to be recognized as a symphonic composer, and the first to have a composition played by a major orchestra. Â Amanda Nicole Collins also joins the orchestra as the soloist for Mozart's exuberant Horn Concerto No. 3, K. 477. Â This concert has been generously underwritten with grants from the Presser Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. Â We are also deeply grateful to PECO and EPAM for their sponsorship of this event. Â
