Nieuwe Blik Terug: William Grant Still & Samuel Coleridge‐Taylor (Dutch spoken)

About the Event

Musician, presenter and documentary maker Orville Breeveld has put together a series in which he turns the spotlights on composers with origins in Africa. Tonight: William Grant Still and Samuel Coleridge‐Taylor. ‘Imagine: you walk into the Recital Hall’, says Breeveld, ‘and it’s bursting with energy. You see lots of different people, a cross‐section of the city of Amsterdam. I’m taking the audience on a journey, and using as much imagery as possible I tell them about the composers of afro‐origin who have stolen my heart.' Pianist Hannes Minnaar will play works by William Grant Still and Samuel Coleridge‐Taylor.
