AfriClassical has previously announced that the Moores School of Music at the University of Houston will present Samuel Coleridge-Taylor: A Centennial Celebration October 5 & 6, 2012.  Franz Anton Krager is Director, University of Houston Orchestras.  We asked him what works of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor will be performed on October 6, 2012.  Maestro Krager has graciously replied:

Dear Mr. Zick,
