Celebrating Black Composers

In Partnership with the River Bookshop, and the Amherstburg Freedom Museum Windsor, and the Windsor Symphony Orchestra.

The WSO celebrates Black composers, performing Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s Four Novelettes. He was a British composer of mixed-race heritage, a descendant of an African-American soldier. A late 19th Century Romantic powerhouse, Coleridge-Taylor wrote in the style of Dvorák. Adolphus Hailstork’s work, Sonata da Chiesa (Church Sonata), represents his African, Native-American, and European roots.
