The beauty of melody, and the powerful force of unity.

Coleman’s Umoja evolved from a simple, beautiful song for women’s voices to an arrangement for chamber ensemble, to becoming gloriously ‘unified’ in this orchestral version. Steven Osborne works his magic with Grieg’s famous concerto, while Beethoven charms in his breezy, elegant Fourth Symphony.
