Chineke! stormed last
summer’s BBC Proms with a sensational debut, one of many opportunities
it creates for young Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) classical
musicians. As Europe’s first majority-BME orchestra, the Chineke! Orchestra performs a mixture of standard orchestral repertoire along with the works of BME composers both past and present.
Its Wigmore debut includes impassioned music by Florence Price, the first African-American woman to break through as a symphonic composer.
