Fifteen-year-old piano prodigy Nana Miyoshi is coming to The Church in Sag Harbor from Japan, with special repertory that highlights the works of Florence Beatrice Price and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, two Black composers who are currently enjoying a renaissance through performances around the world, in addition to classics by Beethoven, Clara Schumann, and others.
This unique program, which will be held on Saturday, March 25, at 4 PM, was crafted exclusively for The Church in collaboration with the Alexander & Buono Foundation, and the event will also include a lecture by Barry Alexander and Cosmo Buono that discusses the rich histories of the composers and the music performed.
A special emphasis will be placed on exploring the composition of Florence Beatrice Price (American, 1887 – 1953). Price has over 300 works that were forgotten and only discovered after her death. The 90-minute concert will include a performance of Price’s, Sonata in E-minor, with a brief introduction of the piece, noting Price’s career and newfound fame.
Tickets are $35 for members, $40 for non members, and $15 for students and children. Visit thechurchsagharbor.org.
