A concert featuring music from some of the finest black composers is being held in Southampton on Friday (Oct 19).
Music by composers such as Joseph Bologna and Samuel
Coleridge-Taylor will be featured in the concert, which is part of the
city's Black History Month.
The notable works will be performed by Southampton Youth Orchestra,
Southampton Youth Choir and the Southampton Youth Jazz Orchestra at
Turner Sims Concert Hall, University of Southampton.
The concert, which starts at 7.30pm, will open with a short
historical background speech for the audience to put the evening in
context.
Black History Month is marking the 200th anniversary of the
abolition of the slave trade, with a series of events in the city
throughout October.
Tickets to the concert are Ł8 for adults and Ł5 for children. To
