National Philharmonic joins forces with GRAMMY® Award-winning conductor Michael Repper and GRAMMY® nominated violinist Curtis Stewart for an album of world-premiere studio recordings in celebration of composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s 150th birthday. SAMUEL COLERIDGE-TAYLOR brings newly uncovered orchestral works to life and spotlights the immense contributions of Coleridge-Taylor to orchestral music.
“This project is really special,” says NatPhil President & CEO Jim Kelly. “And the time is now. I really want the world to know all about this music.” The album is available now to purchase and stream on all major platforms.
Along with the album, free, open-source performance materials, including Toussaint L’Ouverture, Ballade Op. 4 and 5 Negro Melodies, will be available starting August 1.
On September 20, Repper and Stewart join NatPhil at The Music Center at Strathmore for a concert in celebration of the album’s release. The program features two works from the album by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor – Toussaint L’Ouverture and Ballade op. 4 for Violin and Orchestra – alongside Avril Coleridge-Taylor’s Sussex Landscape and Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5. Tickets are on sale now!
National Philharmonic relies on the generosity of its donors to continue bringing you the music. Your contribution is critical to our continued success.
