George Gershwin/Frolov Concert Fantasy on themes of Porgy and Bess

A unique musical partnership between a classical violin virtuoso of Roma background, and a brilliantly talented and thoughtful pianist of Nigerian-Filipino descent, sharing their friendship and heritage through music.

A Creole free man of colour, Chevalier de Saint-Georges (1745-1799) was the earliest European composer of African descent to receive widespread critical acclaim.  Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, composer of the Roma-inspired Gipsy Suite, was born in London to an English mother and a father originally from Sierra-Leone. He was referred to as a “Black Mahler”. Superstar jazz pianist Keith Jarrett’s Elegy was written in memory of his Roma maternal grandmother.


This concert is part of the Red Violin festival 2024.
