Stephen Broad sits in

Stephen Broad uncovers a connection between Clydebank鈥檚 industrial Singer Sewing Machine empire and French classical music of the Twentieth Century.

What connects the music of Debussy, Stravinsky, Poulenc and Satie with Clydebank鈥檚 Singer Sewing Machine Empire and the American Princesse Edmond de Polignac? Find out with Stephen Broad as he explores the music commissioned in the 1900s by the 鈥楶rincesse鈥� aka Winnie Singer and her life as patron of the arts. Stephen鈥檚 guest tonight is South Korean pianist Yeol Eum Son, making her debut this month with the 成人快手 Scottish Symphony orchestra with a performance of Esa-Pekka Salonen鈥檚 Piano Concerto. Plus, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor features in our Album of the Week; a survey of his orchestral works including Hiawatha鈥檚 Wedding Feast, the piece that made him internationally famous overnight.
