The talk will begin at noon on Wednesday, Nov. 6, in Sturgis Hall at the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service. As part of the Clinton School Speaker Series, discussion will celebrate the lives and legacy of Price and Still in advance of the Nov. 9-10, which pairs music by Price and Still with Beethoven鈥檚 groundbreaking Symphony No. 3, 鈥淓roica.鈥 Price is a Little Rock native who became the first African-American woman composer to have a symphonic composition performed by a major American orchestra, and was one of the first African-American classical composers to gain international attention.听 After her first symphony received its world premiere by the Chicago Symphony, she was commissioned by Britain鈥檚 famed Sir John Barbirolli for an orchestral work.听 Still, born in Mississippi, moved in infancy to Little Rock with his mother after his father鈥檚 tragic death from typhoid. He graduated as valedictorian of M.W. Gibbs High School in 1911. During his successful musical career, Still conducted the Los Angeles Philharmonic and other orchestras, earned two Guggenheim Fellowships and honorary doctorates from Oberlin College and Pepperdine University.
