Overview
The Glory of the Day聽is a photography exhibition by LeXander Bryant that explores the legacy of Florence B. Price, the first African-American woman to have her composition performed by a major U.S. orchestra.
Commissioned by the Curb Center during Vanderbilt鈥檚聽Florence Price: A Celebration聽music festival, Bryant鈥檚 work artistically documents live performances of Price鈥檚 music across Nashville, capturing the communal, ephemeral nature of music and its power to connect artists and audiences across time.

The exhibition鈥檚 title references a poem Price once set to music, and the photographs鈥攏ow housed in the Blair Music Library鈥攑reserve these moments of cultural connection for future generations.
