The Lydian Singers of Trinidad and Tobago Perform “Hiawatha” Songs of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor

Wednesday, 7/2/08, 7:13 AM Excellent resource for information! I am doing some research for a choir of which I am a member. This October 2008 in celebration of Black History month and as a part of our bi-annual Opera season, The Lydians will be performing Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's popular piece, "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast", "The Death of Minnehaha" and "Hiawatha's Departure." The information on the composer in your website was instrumental in our research process for this Opera. A lot of our younger members had no idea that Coleridge Taylor was black and this production is proving a very educational process for them. I will e-mail you some further details if you are interested. Thanks once again! From:Trinidad and Tobago, (Caribbean)
