Furthering a focus on the music of Florence Price, Lara Downes turns to the composer’s pupil, Margaret Bonds, on this program with Nicole Cabell. Long-unpublished works receive premiere performances alongside “What Lips My Lips Have Kissed” and other songs, and Downes also brings miniatures on the themes of love, life, and laughter. Recorded on August 27 in Bennett Gordon Hall.
