Crepuscule d'une nuit d'ete

On 19 April 1924, Coleridge-Taylor married Harold Dashwood, in the Croydon parish church. She initially composed and conducted using her first name and maiden surname. After their divorce she dropped her first name, thereafter going as Avril Coleridge-Taylor professionally.[2] In the 1930s she was living at The Studio, 4A Hill Road in St John's Wood.[3]

Coleridge-Taylor was invited on a tour of South Africa in 1952, during the period of apartheid,[4] arriving on the inaugural flight of the Comet jet from Croydon to Johannesburg.[5] Originally she was supportive of, or neutral to the South African apartheid system; she was taken as White and was mostly White-European in ancestry.[6] When the South African government learned that her father was not White (being biracial, he would have been considered Coloured under its system), it denied her work as a conductor and composer.[7]
