A streaming “Adoration”

The Juilliard School’s MAP String Ensemble will perform Elaine Fine’s arrangement of Florence Price’s “Adoration” tonight in concert. You can watch and listen from this page at 8:00 p.m. Eastern. N.B.: the concert will not be archived for later viewing.

Elaine’s name does not appear on the program but will be announced from the stage. Elaine is a Juilliard grad, so this performance will be especially meaningful to her. Her arrangements of “Adoration” (a work in the public domain) have done much to draw attention to Florence Price’s music.

You can find Elaine’s arrangments of “Adoration,” all freely shared, in the International Music Score Library Project.

7:35 p.m. (Central): Nothing is streaming. Juilliard messed up.

*

May 5: The conductor sent Elaine the wrong link. That’s why we missed the livestream.

*

May 6: Happily, there’s an audience video of a beautiful, deeply moving performance.

Forwarded to Elaine. I know that somebody saw it (Kevin, that would be you). I don’t know what went wrong with our devices.

I was adding an explanation to the post while you were adding this comment. I hope we can still get to hear the performance. I’ll pass on your congrats to Elaine.
