Suite Samuel Coleridge-Taylor was born in Victorian London. By 1904 he had become a popular classical composer who played to packed houses at the Albert Hall. He even toured America and met the president. He died prematurely in 1912. Coleridge-Taylor was black. This film charts the life and work of a composer who once rivalled Edward Elgar , but is now largely forgotten.
