On the date of the commencement for Floyd's Bachelor of Music, May 30, 1948, he was the youngest in the class, 2 days shy of turning 19.


  • 1952: The 1949 National Guild Award led to a sponsored formal New York solo recital debut at Town Hall, which occurred Wednesday, 8:30 PM, April 9, 1952. Schonberg, then a music critic for the New York Times, attended Floyd's performance and wrote a favorable review the next day.[3]

Floyd, under the management of impresario Norman Joseph Seaman (1923–2009), performed again at Town Hall, April 5, 1963.

In the 1970s, Floyd established a multimedia performance group, the Stereopticon, that was supported by the Smithsonian Institution and the National Endowment for the Arts.[2]
