Overview
In this final recital of the Coleridge-Taylor series, entitled 'Across the Pond', the soprano is joined by fellow musicians and the the fabulous actor and author Paterson Joseph to explore the artistic exchange between the UK/Europe and the US at the turn of the 20th Century, of which Coleridge-Taylor was a part. There will be readings of letters, poems, and articles written by Coleridge-Taylor, his librettist Paul Laurence Dunbar, and the activist Booker T Washington. These will be interspersed with songs by Coleridge-Taylor (including a world première of the song cycle The Soul's Expression), Dvořák, Korngold, and Amy Beach.
The Coleridge-Taylor Series is made possible with support from the Wigmore Hall Endowment Fund.
This concert is part of the CAVATINA Chamber Music Trust ticket scheme, offering free tickets to those aged 8-25
