Welcome back to the latest installment of our 'Player of the Month' feature!
Each
month we feature one of our fantastic Chineke! or Chineke! Junior
artists, and discuss with them their experiences, what Chineke! means to
them, and any advice they might give to aspiring musicians.
This month we are showcasing Chineke! Junior Orchestra clarinetist and 2017 Diversity Awards nominee Pasha Orleans-Foli!
Pasha
Orleans-Foli studies clarinet, saxophone, and classical guitar at
Junior Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and she will be going on to
study Modern Languages (French & Spanish) and Music at the
University of Birmingham in September 2017.
While
keeping busy with Head Girl duties at Woldingham School, she is also an
active member of the Chineke! Junior Orchestra, formed to celebrate
diversity in classical music, and has performed in a Wind Quartet on BBC
Radio 3 with other junior members of Chineke! celebrating black and
British musical talent.
Pasha
is also a clarinetist in the National Youth Wind Orchestra, a Junior
Artist of the London Philharmonic Orchestra and in 2015 was an inaugural
member of the BBC Proms Youth Ensemble, playing alongside the Aurora
Orchestra in the Royal Albert Hall. As well as being an enthusiastic and
bubbly musician, Pasha also enjoys composing in her spare time for a
variety of instruments, ensembles and genres: from a Jazz big band to
music incorporating 20th century atonality. She is planning to continue
music and keep it as an integral part of her future career as a
linguist, maintaining her love of playing in ensembles and performing.
