Mind the Gap! - Nieuwe Blik Terug - Julius Eastman & Florence Price (Dutch spoken)
The Mind the Gap! Festival opens the doors to a richer musical perspective and gives a platform to underrepresented Black composers. On this opening night of the festival at the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, musician, presenter, and documentary filmmaker Orville Breeveld shines a spotlight on Julius Eastman and Florence Price. Julius Eastman (1940–1990) was one of the most progressive African American composers. His music is minimalist in form but monumental in expressiveness: raw, spiritual, and steeped in social urgency. His most fiery musical statements come to life, framed by stories that highlight his artistic courage and radical message. Florence Price was the first woman of color to see her work performed by major orchestras as a composer, despite racism and sexism. Several songs and the 'Sonata in E' for piano will be performed by her.
