Trinity Laban Conservatoire
has presented Honorary Fellowships to violinist Aaron Dworkin and
double bassist Chi-chi Nwanoku (pictured) for their ‘major contribution
to the arts in the UK and internationally’.
Dr Claire Mera-Nelson, director of music at Trinity Laban, said:
‘Trinity Laban wishes to recognise and celebrate Chi-chi Nwanwoku’s
pioneering contribution to music, in particular the inspiration she
provides, the commitment she has shown, and the contribution she has
made to addressing inequalities within classical music in the UK, most
recently through the Chineke! Foundation, her organisation established
to champion change and celebrate diversity within classical music.
We wish to recognise and celebrate the internationally significant
contribution that Aaron Dworkin has made in advancing opportunity and
transforming lives through the power of diversity in the arts. His
commitment to addressing inequalities within classical music and
championing opportunities for black and other minority ethnic groups is
unparalleled, leading to global recognition.’
