Today, Ben’s done his reading and is ready to tell you all about our first male musician: the brilliant Black British composer, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor.

Today, Ben uses his extensive knowledge of 20th Century French music — did you know he did his dissertation on Francis Poulenc? — to chat about fantastic female composer, Germaine Tailleferre. Is she another Stravinsky? A carbon copy of Ravel? Or... OR... is she a brilliant composer in her own right who deserves the same respect awarded to Stravinsky and Ravel? Listen to find out!

In the FIRST EVER (proper) episode of the pod, Ellie and Ben explore the life and a few of the works of 20th Century African-American composer, Florence Price. Sadly, some snippets of music we were hoping to include didn’t quite make it — not only do we not understand dating apps, but we don’t really get technology either.
