The Women of Chicago’s Black Renaissance with Michelle Cann in La Crosse
The published order places Florence Price’s two Fantasie nègre works together before intermission, then closes with Margaret Bonds’s Spiritual Suite. It’s a five-composer piano program framed around the women of Chicago’s Black Renaissance.
A break between four works and two
Nora Holt’s Negro Dance Op. 25, No. 1 and Betty Jackson King’s Four Seasonal Sketches open the program. Price follows with Fantasie nègre No. 2 and then No. 1. After the intermission, Irene Britton Smith’s Variations on a Theme by MacDowell leads into Bonds’s Spiritual Suite.
That order gives Price two consecutive selections before the break; each of the other four composers has one work on the bill. The intermission separates the first four pieces from the final pair.

Five composers, one announced frame
The program names Holt, King, Price, Smith and Bonds within a shared frame: the women of Chicago’s Black Renaissance. Rather than focusing on one composer, the concert places their distinct works alongside one another.
The La Crosse Symphony Orchestra says spoken remarks during the performance will provide context about the featured artists’ backgrounds and paths. That element may help listeners connect the program’s individual works to the people named in its broader frame.
