Florence Price, String Quartet in A Minor (1935) Boston Premiere
Julius Eastman, The Holy Presence of Joan d'Arc (1981)
Coleridge Taylor Perkinson, “Fuguing Tune” and “Calvary Ostinato” (1973) from Lamentations: Black Folk Song Suite for solo cello


For several thrilling seasons, Boston-based chamber ensemble Castle of Our Skins have been inventive champions of the music of Black American composers. This season, they bring an exciting program of music and performance to Calderwood Hall, including the Boston premiere of a string quartet by Florence Price—a 1906 graduate of New England Conservatory—and new choreography to Julius Eastman’s energetic work for ten cellos.
