The Mind the Gap! Festival opens the doors to a richer musical perspective and gives underrepresented Black composers a platform. On this opening night of the festival at the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, musician and filmmaker Orville Breeveld shines a spotlight on Julius Eastman and Florence Price. Julius Eastman (1940–1990) was one of the most progressive African American composers. His minimalist music is raw, spiritual, and steeped in social urgency. Florence Price was the first woman of color to see her work performed by major orchestras, overcoming significant racism and sexism. Several songs and the 'Sonata in E' for piano are by her hand. Orville Breeveld has curated this series to highlight composers and musicians who have unjustly remained underexposed, telling a story about the power of music and these historical greats.
