Hilary
Burrage is Executive Chair of the Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Foundation, with
which AfriClassical and AfriClassical.com have been collaborating on commemoration of the
Centennial of the composer's death. BBC Radio 3 is a broadcast
service which can also be heard online. Hilary Burrage made this
request of BBC Radio 3:
“As you may know,
this year marks the centenary legacy of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor
www.sctf.org.uk
, who died on 1 September 1912. Might I suggest
it would be nice if we could hear his Christmas Overture
http://sctf.org.uk/2011/12/24/coleridge-taylors-christmas-overture/,
which is a very jolly piece for the festive season?”
Andrew
King of BBC Radio 3 has replied:
“Thanks
for your Advent Calendar suggestion – I’m one of the producers on
Breakfast and I just wanted to let you know we have chosen it for
tomorrow’s programme, shortly after 8.30am.”
Hilary
Burrage writes:
“A
good start indeed to the festivities!!! Enjoy, everyone! Hilary”
