Beyond the Years: Unpublished Songs of Florence Price Recital

Karen Slack stands at the forefront of classical music, bringing powerful narratives to the concert stage through her artistry, advocacy, and collaborations. Fresh off her Grammy win for Beyond the Years: Unpublished Songs of Florence Price, Slack continues to shape the future of vocal music with projects that illuminate overlooked histories and celebrate resilience, identity, and artistic expression.

Her award-winning album with pianist Michelle Cann has unearthed a treasure trove of Florence Price’s unpublished songs, amplifying the voice of a pioneering composer. In November 2026, the duo will take this repertoire on tour, pairing Price’s works with pieces by Ravel and Schubert in a recital program that bridges past and present. This tour represents Slack’s commitment to honoring Black composers while championing the timeless beauty of classical song.
