Biography
Samuel Coleridge-Taylor was born on August 15, 1875, in Holborn, London. He began his musical education at Croydon Conservatory before enrolling at the Royal College of Music in 1890 to study composition under Charles Villiers Stanford. Coleridge-Taylor's breakthrough came in 1898 with the premiere of Hiawatha's Wedding Feast at the Royal College of Music, which became a significant success and was performed over two hundred times by 1904. He composed a variety of works, including piano pieces, chamber music, operas, and symphonies. Coleridge-Taylor faced racial barriers in Britain but was celebrated in the United States, conducting performances and being received by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1904. Despite his early death from pneumonia on September 1, 1912, his work continued to be performed, notably at the Royal Albert Hall until 1939, under the direction of Malcolm Sargent.
