and join MN Opera in singing her story.
Inspired by the prolific American composer Florence Price who made history as the first Black woman to have a symphony performed by a major U.S. orchestra, My Name is Florence presents vignettes from Price’s life that bring into focus the impact of family, legacy, and the transformative power of a seat at the piano. This world premiere chamber opera, composed by B.E. Boykin to a libretto by Harrison David Rivers, premieres January 31-February 8, 2026 at the Ordway.
