On this 🇺🇸 weekend, we're listening back to the new release from Anné-Marie Condacse and Althea Waites, Hold Fast To Dreams: Florence Price's Legacy in Song.

Weekend Listening Tip: Florence Price's settings of Langston Hughes’s “We Have Tomorrow” and “Hold Fast to Dreams.” “We Have Tomorrow” seizes Hughes’s spirit of optimism, depicting the poet’s encouragement not to let today’s challenges defeat hopes for tomorrow. “Hold Fast to Dreams” returns to the trope of the bird to encourage—and warn—us that we must dream on, because without dreams life is purposeless.
