On February 28 and March 1, the Orchestra of St. Luke’s continues its chamber music series with a program that pairs piano quintets by Florence Price with those of Johannes Brahms. Price, the first Black woman to have a work performed by a major American orchestra, has received sustained attention by OSL since 2018, including the Carnegie Hall premiere of her String Quartet in the 2021-22 season. Price’s Piano Quintet in A minor – heard for the first time at Carnegie Hall in this performance, as far as is known – is paired with Brahms’s F minor contribution to the same genre. The St. Luke’s Chamber Ensemble is joined for these performances by guest pianist Marc-André Hamelin (Feb 28 & March 1).
