This
Saturday, Feb. 22 starting at 7:30 PM members of the Chineke! Orchestra
will be presenting a special concert at the The Africa Center in New
York City.
Chineke! provides
career opportunities to young Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) classical
musicians in the UK and Europe. The organization aims to be a catalyst
for change, realizing existing diversity targets within the industry by
increasing the representation of BME musicians in British and European
orchestras. The Foundation’s flagship ensemble, the Chineke! Orchestra,
comprises exceptional musicians from across the continent brought
together multiple times per year. 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.
The performance will include:
Strauss Till Eulenspiegel einmal anders! (8 mins)
Wallen NNENNA (10 mins)
Beethoven Septet in E flat Op 20 (45 mins)
