Join Edward Richards on a free Deaf-led British Sign Language tour of The Sound of Croydon: Celebrating Samuel Coleridge Taylor.

Join Edward Richards on a free Deaf-led British Sign Language tour of The Sound of Croydon: Celebrating Samuel Coleridge Taylor. Celebrating 150 years since his birth, this exhibition charts the life and legacy of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875-1912): from his early promise as a young violinist and studies at the Royal College of Music, to his meteoric success as a composer and premature death at only 37 years old.

Since 2002, Edward Richards has been a freelance British Sign Language (BSL) tour guide in Museums and Galleries to Deaf BSL groups. He has delivered talks ranging from Renaissance to Contemporary arts.
