Discover Florence Price on Grammy Award-Winning Catalyst Quartet's Latest Album with Star Pianist Michelle Cann
Catalyst Quartet.
The Grammy Award-winning Catalyst Quartet joins us on the Classical Post podcast today to discuss their latest album, UNCOVERED Volume 2, featuring the music of Florence Price. The star pianist Michelle Cann is also on the show as this album was a collaboration with her.
The quartet’s UNCOVERED project is a multi-volume set of albums released on Azica Records. The initiative celebrates beautifully crafted works by artists who have been overlooked and sidelined in classical music, especially because of their race or gender. Volume 1, released last year, includes the string quartet and quintets of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor with clarinetist Anthony McGill and pianist Stewart Goodyear. Volume 2 just came out this year and features music by Florence Price. Volume 3 and beyond will feature Coleridge-Taylor, Perkinson, William Grant Still, and George Walker, among others.
As a side note, violinist Abi Fayette was not on the podcast, but you will hear the other quartet members — violinist Karla Donehew Perez, violist Paul Laraia, and cellist Karlos Rodriguez — and the pianist Michelle Cann.
