This is very exciting news. The Chineke! Orchestra will perform at the
BBC Proms Music Festival at Royal Albert Hall, the biggest classical
music event in the world, held every summer in London.
Hailed by critics as ‘fresh’ and ‘brilliant’, the UK’s first BME
orchestra Chineke! makes its Proms debut in a programme including works
by Pulitzer Prize-winning George Walker and young British composer
Hannah Kendall, whose The Spark Catchers takes inspiration from the urgent energy of Lemn Sissay’s poem of the same name.

Sheku Kanneh-Mason, winner of the 2016 BBC Young Musician competition,
