The newly formed Carlisle Floyd Centennial celebrates the late iconic American composer with international productions, concerts, events, programs, and performances leading up to the 100th anniversary of his birth, June 11, 2026.. Though Floyd passed away in 2021, his compositions are at the heart and foundation of American opera, including works such as Susannah, Of Mice and Men, and Cold Sassy Tree. This multi-year centennial celebration features partnerships with Houston Grand Opera, Boosey & Hawkes, the University of Houston, Florida State University, and The South Caroliniana Library to coordinate with musicians, scholars, opera companies, and other organizations from around the globe to explore and appreciate Floyd’s operas as well as choral and orchestral works.
