Conductor Mark Shanahan

The highlight of this concert will be Forest Philharmonic’s first performance of a work by the wonderful, but long underrated black American pianist and composer Florence Price (1887-1953). In the first half of the concert though, you will hear music inspired by English composers on their travels: Elgar evokes Italy while Holst evokes Algeria.
