In a musical tour of the banks and braes of bonnie Scotland, violinist and previous Schadt String Competition Winner (2018) Timothy Chooi performs Max Bruch’s Scottish Fantasy based on traditional folk melodies. The first full scale symphony by a female American Composer was the “Gaelic” Symphony by Amy Beach, who was influenced by Anton Dvořák to incorporate folk music elements in their works. Her choice was to look to her British roots for inspiration. Samuel Coleridge-Taylor was among the best known of Afro-British composers in London. His Bamboula is a Rhapsodic Dance drawn from African traditions and is sure to get your toes tapping.
