Opus 272 - "Negro Melodies" (feat. Michael Repper)

In late 2025, violinist Curtis Stewart, Maestro Michael Repper and the National Philharmonic reunited in concert at The Music Center at Strathmore, following the release of their Samuel Coleridge-Taylor album, honoring the 150th anniversary of the birth of this "overlooked icon of Black classical music." Michael Repper joins Loki to talk about what he sees as the responsibilities of non-Black musicians as it relates to "un-marginalizing" the legacies of composers like Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. Loki responds to news coming from the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra.
