BBMM2013 Unveiling Of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Image @ PRS HQ

As part of BBMM2013, BBM/BMC associated organisation the Samuel Coleridge-Taylor 100 PM Collective (aka Collective click for background) and PRS (Peforming Right Society)  are organising a short ceremony on Wednesday June 19 2013 to mark the unveiling of an image of African British classical composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875-1912) in the collection society's London boardroom. This is a by invitation event aimed at music industry and the media.

The image is donated by the Collective courtesy of Collective member BTWSC. It was commissioned by pan-London voluntary group BTWSC for its 'NARM (Naming And Role Model) Highlighting African British Male Role Models 1907-2007' (BTWSC 2010) book. Coleridge-Taylor is one of 50 NARM role models featured in the book.

PLEASE NOTE: We use African or African-British to describe SC-T, and not 'black'. And we'll use those words where we find 'black' has been used by other organisations.

*UK-based music industry and history consultant Kwaku will lead a Powerpoint-assisted presentation on the life of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (SC-T), one of Britain’s favourite composers of the early 20^th century, and introduce some of his works, including ‘Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast’, which at one time vied with ‘Messiah’ and ‘Elijah’ as one of Britain’s most popular choral composition.

SC-T, born of Sierra Leonean/English parentage, was feted internationally. He made three successful tours in the US, where he became the first African to conduct an all European orchestra and was invited to meet President Theodore Roosevelt in the White House. SC-T was proud of his African roots, and tried incorporating African themes within classical music. He was a member of the African Association, which organised the 1900 Pan-African Conference in London, where SC-T met WEB Du Bois, who had an influence on the composer. The dire circumstances of  SC-T’s estate partly led to the formation in 1914 of Britain’s Performing Right Society (PRS), which collects royalties for composers and music publishers.

The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session during which SC-T’s life as an African living in England at the turn of the 20^th century, a pan-Africanist, and his relationship with Du Bois, will be explored.  The event will be introduced by Cllr James Allie.
