Tonight, the Vibe and SUSO Strings shine a light on the incredible works for string orchestra composed by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor.

Talented musicians from SUSO, the University’s Symphony Orchestra, perform in the Turner Sims Foyer ahead of the evening’s African Tales recital from Samantha Ege And Castle Of Our Skins.

SUSO is one of the leading student orchestras in the UK. They present full professional programs, and promote works by overlooked composers. Their recent sold-out Winter Concert featured Samuel Coleridge- Taylor’s Ballade for Orchestra, conducted by student conductor, Ben Qureshi. Moved by the composer’s music, SUSO have continued to experiment with Coleridge-Taylor’s repertoire.
